1953 Map of Mintonville

About this map

The boundary between Casey and Pulaski Counties runs through a landscape of high ridges and rural settlements in the early 1950s. Mintonville and Argyle serve as central nodes for a network of country schools and churches that reflect a deeply rooted community structure. Distinctive landmarks like Green River Knob and Spaw Knob rise above the complex drainage patterns of Jonathan Fork and Fishing Creek. Local educational sites including the Chuckuluck Sch and Chestnut Level Sch are documented alongside family-named ridges like Vaught Ridge and Hickory Ridge. This survey reveals the agricultural layout of the region before significant modernization, showing a high density of small-scale infrastructure such as the Watson Chapel and various mountain cemeteries that are invaluable for genealogical research.
