About this map

Logan County’s agricultural landscape is defined here by the winding drainages of Muddy Creek and its many tributaries, captured in a transition period when 1950s rural life met late 20th-century revisions. The map reveals a tight-knit network of small communities such as Costelow and Chandlers Chapel, where life centered around landmarks like Sycamore Ch and Big Muddy Ch. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, particularly around the many creeks feeding into the main River at the southern border.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and historical sites like Concord Sch and the Cedar Grove Cem. Infrastructure such as the Pump Sta reflects the area's development, while recreational features like Briggs Lake and various church-centered settlements like Plainview show the social geography of the era. The mapping, originally field-checked in 1951 and updated in 1982, offers a clear view of the roads and farmsteads that shaped this part of Kentucky.
