1953 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

Fredericksburg sits at a primary crossing of the Blue River, serving as a central hub for the small agricultural communities of southern Washington and northern Harrison Counties. The river's winding course creates distinct alluvial flats such as Whittman Bottom, Walk Bottom, and Kay Bottom, which historically provided the most fertile grounds for local farmers. The rugged terrain surrounding these bottoms is marked by numerous named peaks and ridges, including McIntosh Hill, Greene Mill Hill, and Wildcat Knob.
