1952 Map of Allegre

About this map

Pond River and its intricate tributaries, such as Slim Jimmy Branch and Wolf Branch, carve through the rural landscape of Todd County in this early 1950s survey. The area is defined by a network of small, scattered farming communities and local landmarks that speak to the region's genealogy. Settlements like Allegre and Liberty serve as anchors for the surrounding countryside, which is dotted with numerous family-named cemeteries including Kirkman Cem, Slaughter Cem, and Simons Cem. Religious life is central to the community's layout, evidenced by the strategic placement of Mt Tabor Ch, Tabernacle Ch, and Collier Spring Ch. The topography is marked by distinct valleys like Dead Man Hollow and Happy Hollow, illustrating the diverse terrain that influenced the original road placements and homestead locations before mid-century modernization. This map records the late-agrarian character of the Kentucky countryside just after the war.
