1953 Map of Mackville

About this map

Mackville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Washington County, situated at the junction of several rural routes during the early 1950s. The terrain is deeply carved by the Beech Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Long Lick Creek and Tick Creek, which dictate the placement of early settlements and family farms. Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous family burial grounds such as McMullin Cem, Cull Cem, and Cocanougher Cem dotting the ridges and hillsides. Small communities like Jenkinsville, Texas, and Pottsville anchor the surrounding countryside, often centered around local landmarks like Beech Grove Ch and Wesley Chapel. The map also captures the complex intersection of four Kentucky counties, illustrating the jagged boundaries where Washington, Mercer, Boyle, and Marion counties converge amidst the winding creek beds.
