1953 Map of Phil

About this map

The Green River carves through the heart of this Casey County landscape, where the ridges and hollows dictate the pattern of rural life. Small settlements like Phil and Labascus are positioned along the primary routes, while the interior is defined by family-named landmarks such as Thomas Ridge and Hacker Ridge. The map documents a dense network of local schools and churches that served these upland communities in the early 1950s, including Pumpkin Chapel Sch and Canaan Valley Ch. River crossings remain vital to local movement, evidenced by named points like Rubert Ford and Evans Ford. This survey captures the county line where Casey meets Russell and Pulaski, providing a snapshot of the region's geography before significant modern infrastructure altered these traditional crossroads.
