1966 Map of Pomeroyton

About this map

The Middle Fork Red River carves a deep path through this portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest at the convergence of Wolfe, Menifee, and Morgan counties. The landscape is defined by its complex geological formations, featuring a high concentration of natural sandstone spans such as Sky Bridge, Princess Arch, and Angel Windows. While much of the terrain is dominated by ridges like Corner Ridge and Koomer Ridge, the map also documents the mid-century infrastructure of the rural Kentucky foothills. Small communities like Pomeroyton and Valeria are connected by winding state routes, while institutional landmarks like the Dessie Scott Childrens Home near Pine Ridge reflect the area's local history. Local spiritual and educational centers, including Pine Branch Ch and Catahooche Sch, are tucked into the valleys along Swift Camp Creek and Blackwater Creek, providing a detailed view of the region's social geography before late-20th-century shifts.
