1953 Map of Wrigley

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Licking River and its North Fork carve through the heavily dissected plateau of Morgan County within the Cumberland National Forest. This 1953 field-checked survey reveals a landscape of isolated ridges and hollows, where life was historically organized around small schoolhouses and creek-side settlements. Communities like Wrigley and Blairs Mills serve as local anchors, connected by winding routes like KY 173. The map is particularly rich in family-named terrain and small rural institutions, including the Oak Grove Sch, Fraley Sch, and Big Lick Sch. Evidence of the region's topography is found in the naming of prominent landforms such as Perkins Ridge, Ditney Ridge, and Alderson Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the numerous branches and hollows that feed into the Licking River system.
