1953 Map of Sturgeon
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Cumberland National Forest blankets the northern reaches of this Owsley County landscape, where the deeply incised valleys of Sturgeon Creek and its many forks define the pattern of rural settlement. In the early 1950s, community life centered on small, dispersed hubs such as Travellers Rest, Earnestville, and Sturgeon. These locales are marked by a dense network of country institutions, including Warren Chapel, Standing Rock Ch, and several one-room schools like Royal Oak Sch and Hickory Flat Sch.
