1953 Map of Glen Dean

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The rugged topography of western Breckinridge County is defined by a network of creeks and prominent elevations during the early 1950s. High points such as Egypt Knob and Knob Lick Hill rise above the agricultural valleys, where small crossroads communities and rural institutions formed the backbone of local life. The settlement of McQuady and the St Marys of the Woods Sch serve as focal points for the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, while the southern reaches are marked by the oil field near Glen Dean and the Black Lick Ch. This era shows a landscape where economic activity, indicated by several Oil Wells, was integrated into a terrain heavily carved by the Rock Lick Creek and its many forks. Genealogists can find numerous cemeteries and community landmarks like Tar Fork Ch situated among the winding valley roads.
