1970 Map of Farmers

About this map

Farmers and Midland occupy the valley corridor of the Licking River and Triplett Creek, serving as central hubs for this part of the Daniel Boone National Forest in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the floodplain and the elevated ridges of Green Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain. Transportation is anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line and U S 60, which parallel the watercourses and connect the scattered settlements. Local heritage is preserved in the numerous family landmarks and rural institutions, including the Poplar Spring Ch, Denton Cem, and Jones Cem. The presence of the Moorehead-Rowan Co Airport and a modern pipeline network highlights the integration of infrastructure into the traditional river-bend topography of Ingram Bend and Horseshoe Bend.
