1966 Map of Nolin Lake

About this map

Nolin River Lake dominates this landscape where the borders of Grayson and Edmonson counties meet, its dendritic fingers reaching deep into the hollows of the Pennyroyal Plateau. This 1966 revision shows the area as the newly created reservoir transformed the valley, submerging older crossings while creating numerous public access points like the Dickeys Mill Recreation Area and Moutardier Recreation Area. To the south, the map captures a portion of Mammoth Cave National Park, where the terrain rises toward Whistle Mtn and Oak Ridge. Small rural communities and landmarks like Demunbruns Store, Union Light Ch, and the Lincoln Sch provide essential geographic markers for genealogists tracing family roots near the Nolin River. The rugged topography is further detailed by named features such as Chimney Stack and the historic Wilderness Road winding through the southern hills.
