USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The North Fork Kentucky River and Middle Fork Kentucky River carve deep, winding paths through this part of the Cumberland Plateau, anchoring the development of late nineteenth-century eastern Kentucky. Centered on the seat of Perry County, the town of Hazard appears as a key settlement point long before the region's massive industrial shifts. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways like Troublesome Creek, Buckhorn Creek, and Carr Fork, which served as the primary corridors for early residents.
