1952 Map of Hustonville

About this map

Hustonville serves as the primary hub in this mid-century topographic portrait of the borderlands between Lincoln and Casey Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the level terrain of the Pennyroyal and Bluegrass regions into the more complex topography of the Knobs, characterized here by named elevations such as Gordon Lick Knob and Buzzard Knob. The Southern railroad line cuts through the eastern portion of the map, supporting local commerce in settlements like Mc Kinney and Chicken Bristle.
