1952 Map of Hustonville

About this map

Hustonville serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, situated along the Hanging Fork at the intersection of several regional routes. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small crossroads and family-named landmarks, such as Kidds Store and the uniquely named Chicken Bristle. The drainage patterns of the Green River, Carpenter Creek, and Pine Lick Creek dictate the settlement distribution, with homes and community buildings clustered in the valleys between prominent elevations like Gordon Lick Knob and Fletcher Knob.
