1952 Map of Wiborg

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

Cumberland National Forest dominates this McCreary County landscape, where the Southern railroad line snakes through the western hills, connecting the settlements of Greenwood, Wiborg, and Parkers Lake. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines and narrow ridges, such as Middle Ridge and Taylor Ridge, where human activity centers on small clusters of mountain churches and schools. Local heritage is preserved in the locations of Noah Chapel and Roberts Chapel, as well as the Sand Hill School and Vanover School. The map reveals a reliance on traditional infrastructure, including a prominent telephone line following the main north-south road corridor. Water sources are abundant, with numerous branches like Eagle Creek and Indian Creek carving through the plateau, reflecting a way of life deeply integrated into the hollows and flats of the Kentucky wilderness.
