1954 Map of Greensburg

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic oxbow around the land known as Cox Bend, defining the rural landscape of Green and Taylor Counties in the mid-1950s. The county seat of Greensburg sits at the southwestern edge of the survey, where the river's winding course creates several distinct islands including Russell Island and Marcum Island. This area is characterized by a high density of rural social infrastructure, with numerous small schoolhouses like Friendship Sch and Meadow Creek Sch serving local farm families before the widespread consolidation of the late 20th century.
