1955 Map of Fairdealing

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this mid-1950s landscape, illustrating the impact of the Tennessee Valley Authority on western Kentucky. The map documents a period of significant recreational development following the creation of the reservoir, highlighted by the presence of Cherokee State Park, the Four Rivers Boy Scout Reservation, and multiple lakeside facilities like the Jonathan Creek Cabin Area. Local transportation centers on the Jefferson Davis Highway, which crosses the water via the Eggner Ferry Bridge near Aurora. Away from the shoreline, the map reveals a deeply rooted rural community around Fairdealing, marked by family-named landmarks and institutions such as Pleasant Hope Church, Unity Sch, and numerous small cemeteries including the Collie Cem and Barnett Cem. A drive-in theater sits near the junction of major roads, capturing the mid-century social life of Marshall County.
