1953 Map of Maretburg

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Wilderness Road and the Louisville and Nashville railroad cut a historical path through this portion of Rockcastle Co, following the natural corridors of the Kentucky landscape. The village of Maretburg serves as a local hub near Double Springs and Owens Spring, while the surrounding hills are marked by numerous small rural institutions. Named knobs like Purcell Knob and McCall Knob punctuate the terrain, overlooking a network of creek-bottom communities such as Ottawa, Quail, and Willailla. The presence of many family-named schools and churches, including Patten Moore Sch and Burnett Ch, indicates a deeply rooted agricultural society. To the south, the deep depressions of Sinking Valley showcase the unique karst topography of the region, where drainage patterns like Brushy Creek and Skegg Creek define the local geography.
