1975 Map of Salt Lick

About this map

The Licking River basin in northeastern Kentucky is the centerpiece of this mid-1970s landscape, dominated by the newly formed Cave Run Lake. This era shows the transition from a traditional river valley to a managed recreational and conservation area within the Daniel Boone National Forest. Evidence of early industry remains at Clear Creek Furnace, while the modern management of the ecosystem is visible through the Clark State Fish Hatchery and the specialized Pioneer Weapons Hunting Area.
