1954 Map of Bowling Green North

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Bowling Green and its northern outskirts are anchored by the winding course of the Barren River, which defines the landscape with sharp bends and numerous islands like McFarland Island and Slim Island. In the mid-1950s, the river valley supported a mix of industrial and recreational activity, featuring a Gaging Sta, several radio towers, and the developed grounds of Beech Bend Park. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the river, connecting the urban core of Bowling Green to the smaller northern settlements.
