About this map

Flaherty serves as the primary community center in this mid-century landscape, characterized by a mix of agrarian settlements and military boundaries. The 1960 revision of this topography reveals a high density of family and community landmarks, including St Martins Ch and the Flaherty Sch, which define the social geography of the northern area. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Bee Knob and the prominent Sand Ridge, which separates the drainage basins of Otter Creek and Flippin Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data through numerous burial sites scattered across the countryside, such as Yates Cem, Martin Cem, and Swain Cem. The northeastern corner is notably occupied by the Fort Knox Military Reservation, showing the intersection of local civilian life with the federal military presence. The network of rural roads, including the Grahamton-Vine Grove Road, connects these disparate homesteads and churches like New Salem Ch to the regional centers.
