1954 Map of Welchs Creek

About this map

The ridge-and-hollow country of Butler County is defined by steep terrain and tightly clustered rural infrastructure in the mid-1950s. Woods Flat and Bloomington Ridge dominate the central topography, while natural shelters like Skullbone Rockhouse and Grannys Rockhouse offer a window into the local geography of the Squire Ridge area. The settlement pattern is deeply agrarian, anchored by a high density of small community landmarks including Chapel Union Ch, Barnetts Lick Ch, and numerous educational sites like Indian Camp Sch and Dockery Sch.
