1953 Map of Edmonton

About this map

Edmonton serves as the focal point of this Kentucky landscape, situated along the South Fork Little Barren River during the early 1950s. The map illustrates a rural society deeply rooted in its geography, with numerous country schools like Hickory Ridge Sch and Moccasin Sch and small churches such as Wintrey Chapel and Beech Grove Ch serving dispersed communities. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges including Silas Barnes Ridge and Biel Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of local roads and the placement of family farmsteads.
