1953 Map of Kirkmansville

About this map

Kirkmansville and the surrounding borderlands of Muhlenberg and Todd Counties are defined by a dense network of upland ridges and narrow stream valleys in the mid-1950s. The settlement pattern follows these winding drainage systems, most notably the East Fork Pond River and Long Creek, where small farmsteads, country schools, and family cemeteries dot the hillsides. Rural community life centers on landmarks like Landmark Assembly Ch and Cherry Grove Ch, while education is localized at sites such as Welt Sch and Everett Sch.
