1955 Map of Hico

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Hico sits within a landscape defined by the intricate shoreline of Kentucky Lake and the winding course of Jonathan Creek. This 1955 survey by the Tennessee Valley Authority captures the transition from farmland to lakeside recreation, highlighted by the establishment of Ky Lake State Park and the Irvin Cobb Resort. The map is particularly dense with genealogical sites, documenting dozens of family-named burial grounds such as Byars Cem, Winters Cem, and Skinner Cem. Small rural centers like Shiloh and Faxon are anchored by their community institutions, including Shiloh Cem and Faxon Sch. The terrain rises to landmarks like Buzzard Roost, overlooking a network of narrow valleys drained by Ledbetter Creek and Sugar Creek.
