1953 Map of Garfield

About this map

Sinking Creek carves a winding, serpentine path through this Breckinridge County landscape, dictating the placement of early infrastructure and settlements. The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves the northern hub of Irvington, while the southern reaches are dominated by high ridges like Pilot Ridge and Burning Ridge. The terrain is notably dense with family-named burial grounds, such as Whitworth Cem and Shumate Cem, suggesting a long-established rural community pattern where small homesteads were anchored to the local topography.
