1952 Map of Stanton
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Red River cuts a deep valley through the northern section of this map, anchoring a landscape where narrow bottoms host most human activity. Stanton serves as the regional hub at the intersection of several early routes, including KY 15 and KY 11. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Cumberland National Forest, characterized by steep ridges and narrow hollows. In these more isolated areas, community life centered on schools like the Mt Canaan Sch and Chop Chestnut Sch, while rural industry is represented by the Oil Wells scattered near the Powell Co Estill Co line. Landmarks such as High Rock Lookout Tower and Raven Rock offer perspective over the dense forest canopy. The presence of settlements like Rosslyn and Bowen along the river valley demonstrates how transportation was historically dictated by the waterway and the surrounding mountain gaps.
