1951 Map of Flemingsburg

About this map

Flemingsburg serves as the focal point of this mid-century portrait of Fleming County, where the town's street grid is flanked by the Reservoir and the County Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Fleming Creek and its many tributaries, including Town Branch and Wilson Run. This survey captures a mix of traditional agriculture and emerging modern infrastructure, such as the Drive-In Theater located southeast of the main town. Smaller rural centers like Mount Carmel, Beechburg, and Bluebank are documented alongside local landmarks like Fitche Chapel Cem and Arnold Cem. The map provides a clear look at local industry through features like the Rock Quarry (Inactive), while the 1970s revisions, shown in purple, highlight the expansion of roads and buildings that occurred in the decades following the initial 1951 field check.
