About this map

The rolling hills and knob country of the Casey Co Lincoln Co border define this landscape in the early 1950s. The agricultural community of Hustonville serves as a primary hub, situated near the confluence of Hanging Fork and Baughman Creek. Further east, the Southern railroad line passes through Mc Kinney, a vital transportation link for the region's produce and timber.

Rural life is anchored by a network of small schools and houses of worship, such as Maxey Valley Sch and Pine Lick Ch. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into more varied terrain marked by distinctive landmarks like Grider Knob and Fletcher Knob, which overlook the headwaters of the Green River. Genealogists will find numerous family-named burial grounds and small settlements like Chicken Bristle and Kidds Store helpful for tracing mid-century residency patterns across this part of central Kentucky.
