1951 Map of Tiptop

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The rugged coal and timber lands of eastern Kentucky are meticulously detailed here, centered on the settlement of Tiptop. This era reflects a landscape defined by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor, which snakes through the steep valleys to support local resource extraction. Several Strip Mines are visible near Evanston, illustrating the industrial activity of the early 1950s. Family history is deeply rooted in this topography, evidenced by several scattered burial grounds including the John Bailey Cem, Benton Mann Cem, and Betts Mann Cem. Education and faith served as the social pillars for these hollows, with community landmarks like the Big Caney Sch, Duco Sch, and Faith Mt Ch positioned along the winding branches of Big Caney Creek and Hard Fork. The presence of the Decoy PO in the southern portion of the quadrangle marks a center of rural communication during this period.
