1951 Map of Pomeroyton

About this map

The Red River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Wolfe County, shaping a landscape of steep ridges and narrow hollows. Established in the early 1950s, this survey captures the rural character of the region where small settlements like Pomeroyton and Valeria serve as local anchors. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Kentucky mountains, with numerous unnamed branches and creeks feeding into the main river corridor. For those tracing local history, the placement of structures and trails relative to the river's bends provides a clear picture of how the terrain dictated settlement and transit in this part of the Cumberland Plateau before more modern infrastructure arrived.
