1977 Map of Haldeman

About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest dominates much of this landscape, where the ridges of eastern Kentucky are cut by an intricate network of waterways like Christy Creek and Triplett Creek. In the northern section, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor tracks alongside settlements such as Hays Crossing and Haldeman. Further south, the map reveals an older transportation history with a noted Old Railroad Grade winding through the hills near Brinegar. Local social centers and family histories are anchored by rural institutions like Oak Grove Ch, Slabcamp Ch, and several hillside cemeteries including Christian Cem and Williams Cem. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered mines and a quarry, indicating the extractive economy that shaped these communities between Elliottville and the Rowan and Carter County line.
