1968 Map of Dawson Springs

About this map

Dawson Springs serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at the junction of the Tradewater River and the Illinois Central Railroad. The landscape reflects a mix of civic infrastructure and rural community life, featuring the sprawling Outwood Hospital south of town and the University of Kentucky 4-H Camp to the north. These institutions, alongside the residential growth at Lakeshore, indicate a region transitioning toward recreation and public service by the late 1960s.
