1953 Map of Campbellsville

About this map

Campbellsville serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, showing the city's concentrated residential grid and essential infrastructure like the City Reservoir and the Fairgrounds. The landscape is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, which fueled the local economy alongside numerous educational and religious centers. Rural life in Taylor County is documented through a dense network of country schools and churches, including Taylor Co Sch, Wee Yan Sch, and Old Pitman Ch. To the south, the topography shifts toward the winding Robinson Creek and the Green River, where the terrain becomes more dissected with ridges like Smith Ridge and narrow hollows such as Cabin Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the transition from an urbanizing county seat to the agricultural and forested lands along the Adair County border.
