1953 Map of Hyden West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Hyden area of the Kentucky mountains is captured in this early 1950s record, showing a landscape defined by its deep hollows and namesake creeks. Near the Leslie and Perry county line, the map documents a high density of rural schools and family-centered landmarks, such as Upper Hell for Certain Sch and Lower Hell for Certain Sch along the curiously named waters of Hell. These small educational outposts, including Piney Grove Sch and Hals Fork Sch, reflect the isolated nature of mountain life before the extensive consolidation of the late twentieth century.
