1967 Map of Leitchfield

About this map

Leitchfield serves as the focal point of this late 1960s study, situated at the intersection of a developing modern transportation network. The newly constructed Western Kentucky Parkway cuts a bold diagonal across the landscape, contrasting with the established route of the Illinois Central railroad. This era represents a significant transition for the region, where older rural community anchors like Liberty Ch and New Freedom Ch persist alongside new infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal plant and Filtration Plant.
