1954 Map of Vest

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Grey Hawk Hills dominate this portion of the Cumberland Plateau in the early 1950s, defining a landscape of deeply incised hollows and narrow ridges along the border of Breathitt, Knott, and Perry Counties. The settlement at Vest serves as a focal point in the southeast, situated near the confluence of several mountain branches, while Decoy and Elmrock anchor smaller communities further north. The map reveals a highly decentralized educational network typical of the era's mountain geography, with numerous small schools such as Decoy Sch, Dobson Sch, and Baker Sch placed to serve isolated valley populations.
