1951 Map of Hardin
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The East Fork Clarks River meanders northward through this western Kentucky landscape, defining the topography of the Tennessee River valley before the era of major interstate expansion. The county seat of Benton serves as the primary hub, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railway intersects the Jefferson Davis Highway. This 1951 field examination captures a deeply rural settlement pattern, characterized by family-named cemeteries such as Starks Cem and Hurt Cem, and several river crossings including Washburn Ford and Gardner Ford.
