1953 Map of Sturgeon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sturgeon Creek winds through this 1950s landscape of the Cumberland Plateau, defining a network of steep hollows and narrow ridges in Owsley and Jackson counties. The settlement pattern is strikingly decentralized, with community life anchored by numerous rural schools and churches such as Bethlehem Sch, Travis Sch, and the Warren Chapel overlooking Sturgeon Creek. Small hamlets like Travellers Rest, Earnestville, and Green Hall serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.
