1969 Map of Galen

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The borderlands of Monroe County, Kentucky, and Macon County, Tennessee, are defined by the winding drainages of Long Fork and Salt Lick Creek. This late-1960s landscape is characterized by narrow hollows like Ellis Hollow and Grisham Hollow, which shaped the placement of rural crossroads and family homesteads. Small rural hubs such as Sycamore Valley and Webbtown serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural community, while the presence of several Gas Wells and a Quarry indicates the local extraction economy of the era.
