1951 Map of Concord

About this map

The Ohio River valley serves as the central artery for this 1951 study of the borderlands between Adams County, Ohio, and Lewis County, Kentucky. In the mid-twentieth century, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line follows the southern bank, connecting riverside settlements like Concord and Rome to larger markets. This era shows a landscape where rural community life is anchored by institutions such as Beasley Fork School and Taylor Chapel, alongside several family cemeteries like the Nesbitt and Armstrong burial grounds.
