1993 Map of Kingswood

About this map

Rough River Lake dominates the southern landscape of this 1993 Breckinridge County survey, showcasing the complex, winding shoreline created by the impoundment of the Rough River. The map documents the rural character of the region during the late twentieth century, centered around small communities like Kingswood, Westview, and Harned. The rugged topography is defined by the deep valleys of White Oak Creek and Tules Creek, where numerous unnamed cemeteries are scattered among the ridges, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing family land holdings. On the lake's edge, recreational developments such as Picnic Area Site C and the settlement of Axtel appear alongside the industrial infrastructure of the USDA Flood Control Dam. This edition provides a clear record of the intersection between natural watercourses like the North Fork Rough River and the engineered lake environment.
