1950 Map of Lenox

About this map

The Licking River winds through the heart of Morgan County, carving a deep horseshoe bend at Cottle Bend as it flows past the mouth of Spaws Creek. This mid-century landscape is defined by its ridge-and-hollow settlement pattern, where small communities and family farms are concentrated along narrow watercourses like Lacy Creek and Elk Fork. The era’s rural infrastructure is remarkably intact, featuring a dense network of local landmarks including Gordon Ford and numerous one-room schoolhouses such as Hutchinson Sch and Banner Sch.
