1953 Map of Madison East

About this map

The Ohio River carves a wide path through this mid-century landscape, separating the established settlement of Madison from the hills and valleys of Kentucky. On the southern bank, Milton serves as a key crossing point, with Telegraph Road and various ridges like Fairview Ridge and Leeport Ridge defining the local geography. The map reveals a deeply dissected upland where numerous small communities and family farms are anchored by local institutions such as Mt Carmel Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Mt Tabor Ch.
