1962 Map of Salyersville North

About this map

The Licking River and its intricate network of tributaries define this part of the Cumberland Plateau in the early 1960s. The landscape is characterized by narrow hollows and ridge-top settlements, where communities like Lickburg, Hammond, and Logville developed along the creek beds. A significant amount of local infrastructure is dedicated to education and faith, evidenced by the numerous small schoolhouses such as Jenkins Sch and Beech Grove Sch, and rural landmarks like Buffalo Ch. The map captures a moment of modern transition with the presence of the Mountain Parkway cutting through the southern portion near Salyersville. This infrastructure sits alongside a traditional rural economy, where dozens of Oil Wells and a Quarry are scattered among family-named landmarks and cemeteries including Franklin Cem and Mouth of Lacey Cem.
