1954 Map of Lick Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Levisa Fork carves a deep, winding path through the steep terrain of eastern Pike County, serving as the primary corridor for both the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. This mid-century landscape is defined by its hollow-based settlement patterns, where small communities like Mouthcard and Phyllis follow the river's edge while schools and churches are tucked away in the narrow valleys. Significant local gathering points such as Cedar Bottom Ch and Camp Evangel stand alongside numerous rural schoolhouses, including the Gabriel Branch Sch and Millers Creek Sch. The map reveals the early footprint of the region's extraction economy, noting a Strip Mine and the rail-dependent community at Lick Creek Sta. From the height of Hunt Knob down to the creek confluences, the sheet preserves a specific era of Appalachian geography before major modern development.
