1954 Map of Welchs Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Welchs Creek sits at the center of this 1950s survey of Butler and Grayson Counties, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of ridges and narrow hollows. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to the topography, with small communities and churches like Flatwoods Ch and Chapel Union Ch situated atop high ground such as Flat Woods and Frog Level Ridge. This era shows a rural society still organized around local schoolhouses, including Brooklyn Sch, Dockery Sch, and the Lumbustown Sch near the southern boundary. Distinctive local landmarks like Grannys Rockhouse and Skullbone Rockhouse indicate a landscape with prominent natural outcroppings. The presence of a Strip Mine in the southwest corner near Huldeville marks the early industrial footprint of mining in this part of Kentucky, while family-named cemeteries such as Smith Cem and Gary Cem offer valuable data for genealogical research into the region’s established families.
