1952 Map of Ford

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Kentucky River winds sharply through this corner of Clark, Madison, and Fayette counties, serving as both a geographic boundary and a center for local transport and recreation. Along its banks, the map captures the transition from traditional river infrastructure to mid-century leisure, featuring the industrial Lock No 10 and Memorial Bridge alongside the public spaces at Boonesboro Beach. The surrounding plateau is dotted with small agricultural settlements like Athens, Ford, and Locust Grove, each connected by a dense network of local roads that lead to numerous family burial grounds and country churches.
