1953 Map of Lodiburg

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Dry Valley and the winding course of Sinking Creek dominate the landscape of northern Breckinridge County in the early 1950s. This survey illustrates a rural interior defined by narrow ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Union Star and Lodiburg serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, paralleling the creek and providing a critical link for the area's agricultural and industrial output, including stone from the local Quarry. Significant for genealogists, the map identifies several rural congregations and burial sites, such as the Union Star Ch, Sample Ch, and Shelman Cem. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of runs and branches, including Yellowbank Creek and Sugar Tree Run, which shaped the early road patterns and property lines of the region.
