1949 Map of Vanceburg
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Vanceburg serves as the focal point of this 1940s landscape, situated where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks trace the southern bank of the Ohio River. The river forms a dramatic bend north of town, separating Kentucky from Ohio, while the inland terrain is defined by a dense network of branches and creeks, most notably Salt Lick Creek and the winding Kinniconick Creek. This period of Lewis County history is marked by small, self-contained communities centered around local institutions such as Walnut Grove Ch, Evans Chapel, and Fly Branch Sch.
