1952 Map of Leighton

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Cumberland National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, where the rugged topography of the Kentucky mountains dictates a settlement pattern concentrated along narrow hollows and creek beds. Small communities and family clusters like Lynch Town, Alumbaugh, and Arvel are connected by winding roads that follow the drainage of Station Camp Creek and the South Fork. The presence of numerous isolated schools, such as Slick Ford Sch and Greenbriar Sch, along with landmarks like the Drip Rock Lookout Tower, reflects a way of life deeply integrated into the forested highlands.
