1952 Map of Lily

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The southern edge of London and the surrounding Laurel County countryside are defined by a transit network of historical significance, where the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the Wilderness Road parallel the Little Laurel River. This survey captures a landscape in transition, where institutional life is represented by Sue Bennett College and numerous rural schoolhouses like West London Sch and Sasser Sch. The creation of Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park preserves the corridor's frontier heritage, even as modern infrastructure like the London Municipal Airport and Fairgrounds appear nearby. To the south near Lily, the terrain shifts toward resource extraction, evidenced by strip mines along Robinson Creek. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, documenting family names through landmarks like Frazier Knob and well-preserved burial grounds including Slate Hill Cem and Whittaker Cem.
