About this map

The University of Kentucky Experimental Farm occupies a prominent horseshoe bend in the North Fork Kentucky River, illustrating the intersection of academic research and rural Appalachian agriculture in the early 1950s. This survey of Breathitt County reveals a landscape where deep hollows like Meatscaffold Branch and Sugarcamp Br are punctuated by numerous small family cemeteries, such as Marcum Heights Cem and Watkins Cem.
