1952 Map of Frakes

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Henderson Settlement School serves as a prominent landmark in this southern Kentucky landscape, situated near the confluence of Creek and Laurel Fork. The topography is defined by the massive ridge of Pine Mountain, which cuts diagonally across the southern portion of the quadrangle, separated from the northern ridges by Henry Bowlin Gap. The settlement pattern follows the narrow hollows and creek beds, with small communities like Frakes, Siler, and Carpenter anchored by local institutions such as Peace Memorial Ch and Coalstone Sch. In the higher elevations, the Gatliff Lookout Tower provides a vantage point over the interconnected ridges of Bob Bray Mountain and Lawson Mtn. This 1952 field survey captures a moment when rural life centered on these isolated valleys, documented through a dense network of family cemeteries like Partin Cem and Croley Cem.
