1960 Map of Fort Knox
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Fort Knox military landscape dominates this 1960 revision, showing the extensive infrastructure of the Fort Knox Military Reservation alongside the historic civilian settlements of West Point and Muldraugh. This mid-century survey details the complex network of barracks, hospitals, and specialized facilities, most notably the U S Bullion Depository and the busy operational layout of Godman Army Airfield. Beyond the military core, the terrain is marked by numerous family burial grounds such as Withers Cem, Boone Cem, and Geoghegan Cem, reflecting the area's deep-rooted pioneer history before the expansion of the post. The confluence of the Ohio River and Salt River at the northern edge remains a focal point for the region's geography, framed by the rail corridors of the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central railroads that served both the Army and local industry.
