1954 Map of Cromwell

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Green River carves a massive, winding path through the borderlands of Ohio and Butler counties, defining the economic and social life of this mid-century Kentucky landscape. In the Big Bend south of Logansport, the river’s influence is clear through the presence of Reeds Ferry and numerous sloughs and lakes like Hurricane Slough and Taylor Lake. The terrain is marked by high-elevation landmarks such as Tilford Knob and Keel Hill, while the western edge of the quadrangle shows the early impact of industry with several active Strip Mine sites near the Illinois Central railroad line. Settlement is dispersed across small communities like Cromwell and Shultztown, each anchored by local institutions such as the Shultztown Cem and Salem Ch. The map captures a transitional moment where traditional river crossings and family cemeteries like Paxton Cem and Shields Cem exist alongside modern infrastructure like U.S. 231.
