1953 Map of Fairfield

About this map

Fairfield sits near the eastern edge of this landscape where the Salt River carves through the northern hills of Nelson County. The settlement patterns of the early 1950s are defined by small crossroads and water-driven geography, with Highgrove and Coxs Creek serving as secondary hubs. Social life is centered around local institutions such as Little Union Ch and Riverview Ch, while the Highgrove Sch and Cox Creek Sch provide evidence of rural school districts still tied to their immediate communities.
