1951 Map of Flemingsburg

About this map

Flemingsburg serves as the focal point of this early 1950s survey, situated at the junction of the Flemingsburg and Northern railroad and several primary local arteries including Fox Spring Road. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and rural settlements, with the Fleming Creek drainage system carving through the terrain alongside Wilson Run and Allison Creek. Local industry and history are evident in the presence of a Rock Quarry and numerous family and community landmarks. Researchers can identify several small outlying hubs such as Mount Carmel, Dalesburg, and Beechburg. The map also documents social and religious life through the labeling of Fitche Chapel and several burial sites like Arnold Cem and Fitche Chapel Cem, providing a detailed spatial record of the county seat and its immediate rural hinterland before significant modern development.
