1973 Map of Hiseville

About this map

Hiseville serves as the central hub of this Barren County landscape, surveyed in the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense network of country churches and small rural crossroads such as Lecta, Griderville, and Slick Rock. Topographically, the land is marked by prominent elevations like Winlock Knob and Buck Knob, while the intricate drainage of Beaver Creek and its tributary Barren Fork carves through the undulating terrain. A significant infrastructure of Gas Wells and Pipelines crisscrosses the map, particularly near the Barren Co and Metcalfe Co line, indicating the importance of local mineral extraction. Genealogists will find numerous unnamed cemeteries and community landmarks such as Hickory Grove Ch and Queens Chapel, providing a detailed view of the social fabric of this Kentucky community before the modernization of the late 20th century.
