1954 Map of Hammonville

About this map

The borderlands of Larue Co Hart Co come into focus in this mid-century topographic record, centered on the village of Hammonville. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent elevations including Three Springs Knob and Kennedy Knob, which stand above a network of stream valleys like Barefoot Hollow and Bacon creek. Settlement is dispersed across high ground and valley floors, anchored by local institutions such as Oak Hill Mission and High Hickory Ch. A distinct agricultural and residential pattern emerges through small communities like Tampa, Wabash, and Pike View. Notable family history markers are found in the McCandless Cem and Gaddie Cem, while early industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Oil Well and Gas Well locations. Photorevisions from 1979 overlay the 1954 base, showing the gradual evolution of woodland cover and rural road networks.
