1971 Map of Cromwell

About this map

The Green River meanders across this West Kentucky landscape, defining the winding boundary between Ohio and Butler counties. At the heart of the region, Cromwell sits near the river's edge, supported by landmarks like the Water Tank Filtration Plant. The landscape is a mix of agricultural bottoms and industrial activity, with several Strip Mine operations scattered across the western hills near Highview. Transportation infrastructure is undergoing a shift here, as the Western Kentucky Parkway cuts across the northern terrain, contrasting with older landmarks like Reeds Ferry and Seminary Road. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, including Shultztown Cem, Shields Cem, and New Harmony Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted family settlements of the area. Small communities such as Shultztown and Logansport anchor the rural landscape alongside country congregations like Slaty Creek Ch.
