1953 Map of Oneida

About this map

The confluence of Red Bird River and Goose Creek forms the South Fork Kentucky River at Oneida, anchoring this detailed mid-century survey of the Owsley and Clay county line. The landscape is defined by its extensive network of hollows and ridges, where small mountain settlements like Teges, Ammie, and Felty appear as clusters of homes and family-named schools. The presence of the Oneida Lookout Tower and numerous gas wells across the southern ridges suggests the early industrial footprint of natural resource extraction within the predominantly agrarian creek bottoms.
