About this map

The boundary between Todd Co and Logan Co defines the social and topographical landscape of this mid-century survey. Settlement patterns favor the higher elevations and ridge lines, notably at Duncan Ridge, where the Duncan Ridge Sch served the surrounding farmsteads. The area is dense with community landmarks that reflect the era's local rural organization, including schools like Hickory Ridge Sch and Mineral Spring Sch, alongside numerous country churches such as Mt Vernon Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch.

Deep valleys carved by the Wolf Lick Creek and its tributaries, including Duck Lick Creek and Steward Branch, create a fractured terrain that separates small hamlets like Sharon Grove and Everett. Geologists and local historians will note the presence of Mineral Spring and multiple family burial grounds, such as Tunstill Cem and Irvin Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.
