1952 Map of Shady Nook

About this map

Licking River meanders through the northern reaches of this Bluegrass region landscape, carving the boundary between Harrison and Robertson Counties. The terrain is defined by the intricate drainage networks of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Beaver Creek and Mudlick Creek. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of small rural communities like Morning Glory and Shady Nook, which sit at the intersection of local routes in the southern portion of the sheet.
