1951 Map of Vanceburg
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
Vanceburg sits at a strategic bend in the Ohio River, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the Kentucky shoreline. The settlement pattern in the early 1950s reveals a community deeply tied to its hollows and ridges, with social life centered around local landmarks like the Lewis County Infirmary and the Town Branch Sch. Small country churches and burial grounds, such as Evans Chapel and Evans Cem, are scattered across the dissected plateau, connected by winding roads that track the drainage of Salt Lick Creek and its many branches.
