1916 Map of Harold

About this map

The Levisa Fork carves a winding path through this eastern Kentucky landscape, serving as the primary corridor for commerce and settlement during the early twentieth century. Along its banks, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks follow the river's curves, connecting mountain hamlets like Ivel, Tram, and Boldman. This 1914 survey captures a moment when education and communication were localized, evidenced by the high density of numbered schoolhouses and small post offices such as Woods Emma PO and Allen PO.
