1954 Map of Vest

About this map

Vest and Decoy anchor this survey of the Cumberland Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Quicksand Creek and its many tributaries. In the mid-1950s, this area of Knott and Breathitt Counties remained deeply rural, with social life centered on a network of small schoolhouses like Puncheon Sch and Dobson Sch that were situated along the narrow valley floors. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Potato Knob and the long ridgelines of Grey and Horse Hill.
