1953 Map of Garfield

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Irvington anchors the northern portion of this Breckinridge County landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a straight line through the rolling karst topography. The area is defined by the winding course of Sinking Creek, which disappears and reappears through the terrain, flanked by significant elevations like Sinking Creek Hill and Pilot Ridge. Small rural crossroads and hamlets such as Garfield, Rosetta, and Stinnettsville serve as focal points for a farming community interconnected by a network of local roads and a prominent pipe line. Family history is deeply etched into the land, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds including the Whitworth Cem, Marr Cem, and Shumate Cem. A mid-century Drive-in Theatre near the northern edge of the map provides a glimpse into the local social life and recreation of the early 1950s.
