1954 Map of Noble

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Troublesome Creek winds through the heart of this mid-century Eastern Kentucky landscape, defining the social and physical geography of the Noble and Stacy areas. The map reveals a deeply etched terrain of hollows and forks where family names like John Noble and Clemons are tied to specific reaches of the water. This era shows a community structured around small institutions, from the Homeplace Community Center to the Bethel Childrens Home, and specialized sites like the Camp Robinson University of Kentucky Engineering Camp. Geologists and local historians can trace the transition from traditional mountain life to early energy development, evidenced by a Gas Well near Buckhorn Ch and a Conveyor at the southern edge. The distribution of numerous small burial grounds, such as Jones Cem and Nabier Cems, provides an essential resource for genealogists mapping family lineages across the Breathitt and Perry County line.
