1954 Map of Kermit
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Tug Fork carves a winding boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia, defining the eastern edge of this mid-century survey. Along its banks, the settlements of Warfield, Beauty, and Lovely center a landscape heavily shaped by early energy extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells scattered throughout the steep hollows. The interior is characterized by a dense network of mountain schools and family cemeteries that speak to the isolated rural life of the era, including the Head of Blacklog Fork Sch and the Marcum Cem on Groundhog Ridge. Local geography is intricately detailed by named branches and forks such as Blacklog Fork, Crooked Creek, and Emily Creek, while the presence of Farley Ch and various schoolhouses like the Mouth of Peter Cave Fork Sch suggests a community organized around remote creek-side social centers before modern infrastructure unified the region.
