Do you know of Mouth of Pond ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Mouth of Pond. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Mouth of Pond.<1>

Our sources for Mouth of Pond (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Mouth of Pond other than they indicate that Mouth of Pond would be found somewhere in Pike County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1848 and closed  in 1893.
