1953 Map of Bedford

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of the northern Kentucky bluegrass region is defined here by the winding course of the Little Kentucky River. Centered on the town of Bedford, the map illustrates a rural interior where steep wooded slopes like Poplar Ridge and Morton Ridge separate deep drainage basins. This 1950s survey captures the region’s agricultural character, dotted with remote family burial grounds such as Ball Cem and local congregations at Hickory Grove Ch and Antioch Ch.
