1953 Map of Frazer

About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the northern landscape of this South Central Kentucky region, where the Cumberland River and Fishing Creek meet. In the early 1950s, the area reflects a transition from river-bottom farming to a reservoir-based economy, with the map noting a normal pool elevation of 723 feet. The interior is defined by deep hollows and named ridges, such as Doublehead Ridge and Long Ridge, which hem in small settlements and rural schoolhouses like Frazer Sch and Pole Bridge Sch.
