1953 Map of Curdsville

About this map

The Green River forms the northern boundary of this mid-century landscape, where the confluence with Panther Creek marks the riverfront settlement of Curdsville. This agricultural and industrial region in Daviess Co is characterized by a dense network of country roads connecting scattered settlements like Saint Joseph and West Louisville. Significant cultural landmarks include the Mt St Joseph Academy, which served as a focal point for the community near the center of the sheet. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dotted with Oil Wells, particularly near Wyman and Wyman Lake. The map serves as a detailed record of rural genealogy, capturing numerous local houses of worship such as Beulah Ch and New Salem Ch, along with family-named resting places like McCain Cem and Travis Cem.
