1961 Map of Walton

About this map

Walton and Crittenden anchor the western edge of this 1961 revision, situated along the critical corridors of the Southern and Louisville & Nashville railroads. The map documents a deeply dissected landscape where the borders of Boone, Kenton, Grant, and Pendleton counties converge. Small agricultural communities such as Piner, Fiskburg, and Flingsville are connected by a network of winding roads like High Street and the Grassy Turnpike, which navigate the ridges between the North and Middle Fork of Grassy Creek. Numerous family burial grounds, including Northcutts and the Mann-Roshe Cemeteries, are scattered across the uplands, offering significant data for genealogical research. The presence of Boone Lake and Bullock Pen Lake highlights mid-century water management and recreation within this rural Northern Kentucky terrain.
