1954 Map of Falmouth

About this map

Falmouth serves as the hub of this Pendleton County landscape, situated at the dramatic confluence of the Licking River and the South Fork Licking River. The town's grid is bounded by the winding riverbanks and the Louisville and Nashville railroad line, which follows the river's serpentine path north toward Catawba and Menzie. The map captures a moment in the mid-1950s when the region's economy was deeply tied to these waterways and rail corridors, with evidence of local infrastructure like the Fairgrounds and the Gaging Sta along the riverbanks.
