1979 Map of Ogle

About this map

The winding course of Goose Creek and its many tributaries carve through the heart of the Clay County landscape, where the settlement of Goose Rock stands as a central point along the river. This late 1970s topographical survey reveals an economy deeply tied to the land and its resources, evidenced by the L & N RR corridor serving Tipples and numerous Strip Mines scattered across the ridges. Small communities like Garrard, Botto, and Ogle are connected by narrow roads following the creek beds, punctuated by landmarks such as Goose Rock Sch and the Sky Airport. Local social history is etched into the terrain through various hilltop family burial grounds like White Cem and country sanctuaries including Hopewell Ch and Swafford Ch. The map also details a significant Pipeline cutting across the county line into Knox County, reflecting the industrial infrastructure of the era.
