About this map

Hardinsburg serves as the central hub of this 1928 survey, showing a landscape defined by the drainage of Sinking Creek and the Ohio River at Manning Crossing. The era's transportation network is anchored by the Louisville Henderson and St Louis Ry and the Dixie Highway, which connects the larger settlements of Irvington and Garfield.

The rural character of Meade and Breckinridge counties is evidenced by a dense network of country schools and churches. Names like Clifton Mills, Argabright Sch, and Mt Merino Ch reflect the established family communities of the late 1920s. From the riverbank at Ammons to the southern reaches of Harned and Kingswood, the map details a period before the consolidation of rural school districts, preserving the locations of Shellman Sch, Giltedge Sch, and Perrin Sch.
