USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Bowling Green serves as the focal point for this Kentucky landscape, which is defined by the winding course of the Barren River and the subterranean mystery of the Lost River. The 1920s topography reveals a heavy reliance on river crossings, with numerous named points such as Jakes Branch Ford and Walthel Ford facilitating travel before widespread bridge construction. The rural economy is anchored by sites like Massey Mill along Drake Creek and the rail hub at Memphis Junction along the Louisville and Nashville line.
