1969 Map of Oak Level

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

West Fork Clarks River and its numerous tributaries, including Soldier Creek and Smith Creek, define the landscape of this southern Kentucky region. At the time of this 1969 field check, later updated in 1987, the area around Oak Level maintained a rural character shaped by a network of local roads like Shamewell Road and Nance Road. The introduction of the Purchase Parkway across the center of the sheet highlights the transition toward modern infrastructure, intersecting older paths near Waller Hill. Local history and genealogy are centered on country churches and small cemeteries, such as Pleasant Grove Ch and Cole Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The terrain is notably varied, featuring prominent heights like Potato Hill and several quarries and gravel pits that suggest a local dependence on the land's raw materials.
