1952 Map of Junction City

About this map

The rail junction of the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads anchors this mid-century survey of the Bluegrass region. In Junction City, the tracks intersect near the local post office and business district, while neighboring Shelby City and the rural community of Wilsonville sit to the west and east. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling drainage of the Salt River and Clarks Run in the north to the prominent knobs of the south. High points like Pine Knob and Berger Knob overlook a network of country roads connecting landmarks like Catholic Ch and Goodall Airfield. Genealogists will find a variety of family-named burial sites, including Pruitt Cem and Givens Cem, alongside remote settlements like Milledgeville and Moreland near the county lines.
