1961 Map of Hibernia

About this map

Muldraugh Hill dominates the northeast corner of this central Kentucky landscape, where the terrain breaks into the winding drainage of Otter Creek and the Middle Fork. In the early 1960s, this area on the Taylor Co Green Co line was defined by a network of small upland settlements like Hibernia and Badger, connected by winding routes like KY 210. The southern reaches of the map show an active extraction economy, with numerous Oil Wells and a Gas Well scattered across the fields near Coakley. Local life centered around a dense distribution of rural institutions, including Taylor Chapel and Mt Union Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds such as Underwood Cem and Poplar Grove Cem. The intricate pattern of field lines and timbered hollows illustrates a long-standing agricultural tradition transitioning into the mid-century era.
