5x expanded by Hog Farm (talk). Self-nominated at 05:54, 28 May 2021 (UTC).
Setting my uncle's comments aside (well, they're already below), this is an easy pass: the expansion is good, the material is sourced, the writing is just fine, the image is properly licensed. I think the first hook is more exciting than the second. Hog Farm, if you want to roll with it right now, that's great; if you want to incorporate material supplied by my uncle and take one of his hooks, then quick quick remove the "tick" symbol, and we can slow this down.

- The 1930s authorization of the road from US42 to Wises Landing can be found in the published 1932 Acts of the General Assembly. Kaukas 1961 apparently has how difficult it was to travel from river landing to ridges along Barebone Creek (not mentioned but important for clarity about Corn Creek) before that. A more consolidated source is Rennick 2000t, pp. 3–4 from the Federal Writers' Project County Histories which notes another possibility for the name and also notes that there's a precursor to Corn Creek and the question about why Corn Creek isn't actually at Corn Creek. Rennick 2000t, p. 24 has the correspondence and information about the general store and family landholdings. You can also clarify from the Environmental Impact Statement to the International Energy Agency that it wasn't just vaguely the "community" that was affected. The actual creek was affected. The lower part of Corn Creek had to be relocated. WPA 1939t, p. 2 notes against Wise's Landing the existence of a Baptist church, up Corn Creek. Hence:
ALT2: ... that Corn Creek isn't actually at Corn Creek but at Wises Landing, Kentucky, although it once was?
ALT3: ... that Corn Creek isn't actually at Corn Creek but at Wises Landing, Kentucky unlike Corn Creek Church where John Taylor was stationed for 13 years?
