1962 Map of Wayne

About this map

Twelvepole Creek meanders through the heart of Wayne County, serving as the primary geographic corridor for the town of Wayne and its surrounding rural communities. During this era, the landscape is defined by a dense network of extraction, with numerous gas and oil wells dotting the hillsides from Genoa in the south to the northern reaches of the West Fork. The community’s social fabric is visible through its many local institutions, including Wayne High School and several rural schoolhouses like Twomile School and Big Branch School.
