1952 Map of Vox

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Cumberland National Forest defines the landscape of Whitley and Laurel counties in this mid-century survey, where the winding Cumberland River and Laurel River carve through the timbered terrain. Small rural communities like Vox and Keavy are connected by winding routes such as KY 312, while the southeast corner shows the industrial footprint of the L & N RR and the Bacon Strip Mine. This area is particularly dense with community institutions, featuring a high concentration of country churches and schools that served the dispersed population. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks including Barton Sch No 2, Steele Chapel, and the Galilean Childrens Home, alongside numerous family-named creeks like Rogers Branch and Watts Creek that speak to the local settlement history of the period.
