1975 Map of Means

About this map

Jeffersonville and Means serve as the primary hubs of this landscape during the mid-1970s, situated where the rolling terrain of Montgomery County meets the steep elevations of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The transition from cleared farmland to dense timber is marked by several high points, including Big Round Mtn and Kashs Knob. Local life is anchored by country churches like Old Salem Ch and Easter Ch, while the region's educational history is noted at the Pine Hill Sch. The southern portion of the map is defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges, such as Gibson Hollow and Sand Mountain, which are dotted with numerous Gas Well sites and a Compressor Sta. This energy infrastructure, alongside the scenic Sid Calk Lake and geological landmarks like Chimney Rocks, illustrates a region where rural settlement, natural resources, and early conservation efforts coincide.
