1974 Map of Edmonton

About this map

Edmonton serves as the focal point of this Metcalfe County landscape, situated where the South Fork Barren River meets numerous smaller tributaries like Skaggs Creek. The map documents a rural environment defined by narrow ridges and deep hollows, such as Mosby Ridge and England Hollow, where petroleum and gas extraction were active as evidenced by various Oil Wells and a Gas Well. The settlement pattern follows these high ridges, with small communities and centers of local life anchored by landmarks like Winfrey Chapel and Beech Grove Ch.
