1953 Map of Tollesboro

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Tollesboro serves as the central hub for this rural Lewis County landscape, situated where the uplands transition toward the North Fork Licking River. The 1950s settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of country churches and small crossroads communities, such as Ribolt, Cottageville, and Nashtown. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain rises significantly toward Eskalapia Mountain and the Kentucky Ridge, creating a series of deep hollows including Eskalapia Hollow and Runyan Hollow. Genealogy researchers will find numerous landmarks for tracing family roots, from the Salem Ch in the north to the Canaan Sch and Ruggles Camp in the south. The drainage system of Cabin Creek and its many branches, like Thoroughman Branch, dictates the placement of winding roads and farmsteads throughout the region.
