1955 Map of Briensburg
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Kentucky Lake shoreline dominates the eastern edge of this mid-1950s survey, illustrating the landscape just years after the completion of the massive Kentucky Dam. The interior reveals a dense network of rural settlements and family landmarks such as Palma, Draffenville, and Briensburg, all connected by the Jefferson Davis Highway. This era represents a significant transformation for Marshall County, where recreation areas like the Kentucky Dam Village State Park began to emerge alongside traditional farmsteads and old country churches like Lone Valley Ch.
