1967 Map of Concord

About this map

The Ohio River divides the landscape of this 1960s survey, marking the border between Adams Co, Ohio, and Lewis Co, Kentucky. On the southern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors small riverside stops like Rome Station and Chalkley Station near the village of Concord. This transportation artery facilitated the transport of timber and agriculture from the interior valleys, where family-named hollows like Mefford Hol and Bruce Hol suggest a long history of local settlement. North of the river, the terrain rises into the Shawnee State Forest, with isolated communities such as Squirrel Town and Stout situated along the shoreline. Rural social centers are well-documented through features like the Beasley Fork Chapel, Green Sch, and Munea Chapel, reflecting the distributed nature of river-bottom and ridge-top farming communities during this era.
