1965 Map of Brownsville

About this map

The Green River meanders in tight, dramatic oxbows through this mid-1960s survey of Edmonson County, carving a path that separates the town of Brownsville from the western reaches of Mammoth Cave National Park. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and hollows, such as Caney Hollow and Bear Gulf, where small settlements like Asphalt, Windyville, and Grassland are connected by narrow winding roads. The river’s importance to local infrastructure is visible at the Gaging Station Lock No 6, while the upland areas are dotted with numerous small country churches and cemeteries, reflecting the deep-rooted community history of the region.
