1953 Map of Central City West

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Green River forms the eastern boundary of this early 1950s terrain, where the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central railroads converge near Central City. This area is defined by its transition from traditional farming communities to an industrializing coal landscape, evidenced by the appearing Strip Mine operations south of Little Cypress Creek. The map documents a dense network of local landmarks essential for family history, including Shavers Chapel, Bethlehem Ch, and several small rural schools like Cherry Hill Sch. In the north, Bremen sits at the junction of local thoroughfares, while the Mogg (Green River Sta) reflects the vital connection between rail transport and the river economy during this postwar era.
