1962 Map of Ivyton

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors the northern hills of this Magoffin County landscape, tracing the winding path of Jennys Creek through a region defined by narrow hollows and numerous gas wells. Small rural communities like Ivyton, Riceville, and Brainard serve as local hubs, connected by a network of unimproved roads and the primary State Road. The distribution of family-named cemeteries, such as the Trimble Cem and Hackworth Cem, alongside local institutions like the Needmore Sch and Chestnut Grove Ch, provides a clear view of the mid-century social geography of eastern Kentucky.
