1972 Map of Haddix

About this map

Troublesome Creek and the North Fork Kentucky River dominate this 1970s landscape, where winding waterways dictate the layout of Breathitt County's hollows and ridges. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad snakes through the river valley, serving settlements like Haddix and Copland. This survey captures a community deeply rooted in the land, evidenced by numerous family burial grounds including Haddix Cem and Thorpe Cem. Educational and spiritual life centers around the Riverside Christian Training Sch near the mouth of Lost Creek, while New Bethlehem Ch serves the residents around Clayhole. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Elkbutt Knob and Hickory Gap, with a Lookout Tower positioned for forest surveillance. Small-scale industry is visible in a Mine near the northern bend of the river, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on natural resources and rail transport.
