1962 Map of Salyersville North

About this map

Licking River valley settlements define this portion of Magoffin County, where the southern edge of the map features the established seat of Salyersville. The landscape in the early 1960s is characterized by a dense network of mountain communities such as Lickburg, Gifford, and Falcon, many of which developed around the forks of the river and its numerous tributaries like Raccoon Creek and Buffalo Creek. This era shows the region's reliance on natural resources, evidenced by a scattering of Gas Wells and Oil Wells across the hillsides, alongside essential social hubs like Buffalo Ch and Freewill Ch.
