1953 Map of Curdsville

About this map

Green River and Panther Creek define the low-lying northern landscape of this Daviess County region, where the river serves as the boundary with Henderson County. The settlement of Curdsville sits near the confluence, while the central hills are anchored by Saint Joseph and the prominent Mt St Joseph Academy (Maple Mount PO). The interior terrain is deeply etched by the West Fork, Middle Fork, and East Fork of Knoblick Creek, creating a network of ridges that host numerous country houses and small oil operations. Scattered across these uplands are vital community centers like West Louisville and Elba, along with a dense distribution of rural congregations including Pleasant Hill Ch and New Macedonia Ch. The map also captures the local extraction industry with several clusters of Oil Wells and a Quarry near the river bluffs.
