Research Collection, 1954-1976.

Collection includes printed and hand-drawn maps, a property survey, an aerial photo, a floor plan drawn by McDowell, and a copy of a newspaper article. The hand-drawn maps were created by Neil O. Hammon and titles include: "Unfinished Map of Kentucky 1785," "Virginia and the North Carolina Frontier Circa 1780," and "Central Kentucky 1786." The maps relate to their research on Kentucky roadways, the history of frontier Kentucky, and Daniel Boone. The later highway maps are attributed to work McDowell did for Kentucky Department of Parks. See finding aid for more information.
