1954 Map of Bristow

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Knobs dominate the central landscape of this Warren and Edmonson County borderland, creating a distinct topographical break between the northern drainage of Little Beaver Dam Creek and the southern plains. In the mid-1950s, the corridor is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Blue Star Memorial Highway, which stitch together agricultural settlements like Oakland and Bristow. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogists, including Penns Chapel, Otter Gap Ch, and several family burial sites such as Tate Cem and Cook Cem. The presence of the Louisville and Nashville Pipe Line alongside traditional schools like Chalybeate Sch and Bristow Sch illustrates an era where rural tradition met burgeoning industrial utility.
