1949 Map of Hardinsburg

About this map

Hardinsburg serves as the central hub of this late 1940s landscape, where the boundary lines of Orange, Washington, Crawford, and Harrison counties converge. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, including the Blue River at Horseshoe Bend and the aptly named Whiskey Run. The rural infrastructure of the era is remarkably preserved in this survey, showing a network of small schools such as School No 11 and School No 6 positioned near local crossroads. Significant local landmarks like Railroad Hill and the Baptist Hill Ch offer specific points of interest for those studying the social geography of the region. The map also records early regional transportation routes like the Valeene Pike and Marengo Pike, which connected outlying settlements like Rego and Stoler to the larger town of Marengo.
