1962 Map of Moodyville

About this map

Wolf River winds through the heart of this borderland landscape, shaping a series of dramatic bends that define the topography of Pickett County. Along these riverbanks and the surrounding ridges, the map documents a dense network of family heritage markers, including the Flowers-Zachary Cem and Huddleston Cem. The presence of the Gilreath Mill and the Williams Sch near Asbury points to a self-sufficient rural economy established long before the 1960s revisions. To the southwest, the waters of Dale Hollow Lake begin to reach into the valleys, while the highland terrain is punctuated by landmarks like the Natural Bridge and the Lookout Tower atop Regan Knob. From the small settlement of Moodyville to the busy junction at Static on the Kentucky border, the map preserves the mid-century footprint of these highland communities.
