1953 Map of Bedford

About this map

Bedford serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey of the north-central Kentucky landscape, where the town sits at a prominent road junction amidst a complex network of ridges and deep-cut drainage. The topography is dominated by the winding course of the Little Kentucky River and its numerous tributaries, including Barebone Creek and Daugherty Creek. Rural life in the early 1950s is evidenced by several scattered country churches such as Hickory Grove Ch and Antioch Ch, alongside numerous small family cemeteries tucked into the hillsides.
