1974 Map of Edmonton

About this map

Edmonton serves as the focal point of this Metcalfe County landscape, where the Toll Road Cumberland Pkwy and KY 80 intersect near the town center. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Little Barren River and its numerous tributaries, including the South Fork Little Barren River. Rural life in the mid-20th century is evidenced by a network of country churches such as Douglas Ch, Grace Union Ch, and Society Hill Ch, alongside several cemeteries that mark the community's genealogy. Natural resource extraction is visible through scattered Oil Wells and a Gas Well in the central valleys. Notable landmarks include the Lone Star Lookout Tower on a southern ridge and the Moore Spring (Subtle PO) settlement to the east, illustrating the persistence of small rural post office hubs amidst the rugged Kentucky interior.
