1992 Map of Richardson

About this map

The Levisa Fork winds through this corner of eastern Kentucky, defining the landscape of Lawrence and Johnson counties. In the early 1990s, the area remained a network of hollows and ridges connected by narrow creek-side roads and active industry. Small settlements like Richardson and Lowmansville serve as focal points for local history, surrounded by numerous family cemeteries and country churches including Borders Chapel and Chestnut Grove Ch. The map reveals a high concentration of Gas Wells and several Mines, pointing to the region's long-standing reliance on resource extraction. Waterways such as Georges Creek and Little Blaine Creek weave between the hills, while the Pipeline indicates the vital infrastructure moving energy across the terrain. From the northern hamlets of Blaine and Noris to Whitehouse in the south, the survey documents the enduring rural character and extractive economy of the Appalachians.
