1957 Map of Herndon

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Fort Campbell Military Reservation dominates the central landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the extensive military footprint across the Kentucky and Tennessee border. The map captures a significant transitional moment for the region as Lake Barkley (Dam Under Construction) begins to alter the hydrology of the Cumberland River basin. Scattered rural settlements like Lafayette and Indian Mound are surrounded by a network of family-named burial grounds and local institutions, including the Odd Fellows Cem, Double Barn Cem, and South Christian Sch. Numerous watercourses such as Little River and Elk Fork carve through the terrain, while landmarks like the Lookout Tower near Lafayette and the Landing Field indicate the varied uses of the land during this era of military expansion and federal water management projects.
