1952 Map of Keene

About this map

Clear Creek winds through the central terrain of Jessamine and Woodford counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by scattered crossroads settlements and small country churches. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the agricultural character of central Kentucky before modern development altered its footprint. Local history is preserved in sites like Dixon Town and the settlement at Keene, where the Mt Pleasant Sch and Ebenezer Ch served the surrounding farm families. The map illustrates a transition in land use, showing a Quarry and a local Landing Strip alongside older landmarks like Clover Bottom and Cave Spring. To the south, Troy stands as a focal point for the road network, while Clover Bottom Ch marks the southern reaches near the Run tributary. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists tracing family roots near these specific community centers and watercourses.
