About this map

Muddy River Ch and a collection of family burial grounds like Cook Cem and Row Cem characterize this Logan County landscape during the early 1950s. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations including Sugarloaf Knob, Rainbow Rock Knob, and Buzzard Knob, which overlook the winding course of the Mud River. To the west, the outskirts of Russellville reveal a transition toward more modern infrastructure with the Russellville-Logan County Airport.

The Seaboard System railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting the small settlement of Dennis to the broader regional economy. Further south, rural life centers on the Pleasant Run Ch near the banks of Pleasant Run and the crossroads at Halls Store. The map illustrates a classic Kentucky patchwork of timbered knobs and agricultural bottomlands near Whipporwill Creek, maintaining a pattern of development that relies heavily on both the rail line and the historic watercourses.
