About this map

London serves as the focal point of this Laurel County survey, illustrating the city's modern layout at the intersection of the W Daniel Boone Pkwy and local routes. Moving north and east, the landscape transitions into a network of small communities and rural family-named landmarks. Settlements like East Bernstadt and Pittsburg are clearly defined, while smaller hamlets such as Oakley, Atlanta, and Greenmount anchor the more dispersed residential patterns to the north.

The topography is intricately carved by several waterways, including the Little Laurel River and Wood Creek, which have influenced the development of the road system. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Landrum Cemetery, Moren Cemetery, and Southard Cemetery. The distribution of these sites alongside the South Fork Rockcastle River and its various tributaries, like Little Raccoon Creek, provides a detailed record of the area's rural settlement history and church-centered communities.
