1965 Map of White Oak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Licking River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Magoffin and Morgan Counties, defining a landscape of sharp ridges and narrow hollows. In the mid-1960s, small communities like Bloomington, White Oak, and Wonnie anchor the rural economy, the latter home to the Radio Tower (WRLS-Wonnie). Local education is centered at the Hensley Sch near the river's bend. The terrain is deeply marked by industry and infrastructure, visible in the numerous Strip Mines and the presence of a significant pipeline corridor crossing through Orchard Hollow. Along the southern reaches of the map, the Mtn Pkwy begins to influence local travel, while traditional life continues along the banks of the Middle Fork and Settlement Branch. Genealogists may find value in the various family cemeteries and small settlements like Bethanna, Elsie, and Kernie that dot the landscape.
