1946 Map of Stickleyville

About this map

Stickleyville and the surrounding ridgelines of Lee and Scott Counties are documented here as they appeared in the mid-1940s, with updates reflecting the landscape into the late 1960s. The area is defined by the parallel elevations of Wallen Ridge and Powell Mountain, which create a series of sheltered valleys including the Sulphur Spring Valley. This era shows a community deeply tied to the land and its spiritual life, evidenced by the numerous small congregations such as Livingston Chapel, Burks Union Ch, and Osborne Chapel.
