1954 Map of Varney

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Deeply incised valleys and narrow ridges define this section of the Kentucky coalfields in the early 1950s, where small settlements and a dense network of country schools follow the winding path of numerous forks and branches. At the intersection of Rockhouse Fork and Mud Lick Fork, the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and institutions like the Dunkard Ch and Pauley Sch. The mapping recorded during this 1954 field check shows a rural society heavily reliant on the topography, with roads like Martin Pike hugging the valley floors and creek beds.
