1953 Map of Cobb

About this map

The Muddy Fork Little River meanders through the heart of this Western Kentucky landscape, carving deep loops as it flows south toward its confluence with the Little River. In the early 1950s, this area along the Caldwell Co Trigg Co line was defined by small agricultural settlements and rural infrastructure. The Illinois Central railroad serves the community of Cobb in the north, while the village of Wallonia sits at a prominent bend in the Muddy Fork. Local life is anchored by country churches and cemeteries, including Blue Spring Ch and the Rocky Ridge Sch. Water resources are central to the region, from the engineered Hopson Lake and Hammond Lake to natural landmarks like Martin Spring and Millwood Creek.
