1954 Map of Parmleysville

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Parmleysville and the surrounding highlands of Wayne County are captured here in the mid-1950s, a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and the meandering South Fork river. The community structure of this era is clearly visible through its distributed rural institutions, including the New Hope Ch and Big Spring Ch, along with localized education at the Huffaker Sch and Rice Hollow Sch. Much of the southern terrain is dominated by the Cumberland National Forest, characterized by prominent overlooks like Wolf Cliff and Buzzard Cliff. Extensive drilling operations are evident throughout the quadrangle, with numerous Oil Wells peppered across the ridges and along Blue Hole Hollow. This documentation of the Wayne Co and McCreary Co boundary provides a detailed view of the regional petroleum economy and the traditional hollow-based settlement patterns before modern consolidation.
