1954 Map of Kite

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Beaver Creek and its many winding forks carve through the landscape of eastern Kentucky, defining a network of hollows that dictated the settlement patterns of the mid-20th century. This area, spanning the borders of Knott, Floyd, and Letcher counties, shows a high density of rural schoolhouses and neighborhood churches established along the creek banks. Places like Kite, Pippa Passes, and Topmost are linked by a complex web of mountain roads and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line.
