1925 Map of Leitchfield

About this map

The Leitchfield area of central Kentucky is defined by a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, where the Illinois Central railroad cuts through the north, connecting Millwood and Caneyville. This 1920s-era landscape reveals an agrarian society organized around dozens of local institutions, including the Myrtle Grove and Quisenberry schools. Small-scale resource extraction is evident at the Meredith Coal Bank near the Grayson and Edmonson county line.
