1953 Map of Madison East

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Ohio River carves a deep valley between Indiana and Kentucky on this mid-century survey, defining the economic and social geography of Madison and Milton. In the southern Kentucky hills, a network of ridges—including Fairview Ridge, Kings Ridge, and New Hope Ridge—dictates the placement of rural homesteads and social centers. These elevated plateaus are dotted with numerous small churches and schools that served the agricultural community, such as Mt Carmel Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Locust Sch. Along the river bottomlands, the settlement of Hunters Bottom shows a different pattern of land use, where flatter terrain allowed for more concentrated development near the water. The presence of the Callis Grove Campground and various family-named landmarks like Canip Creek and Pryors Fork provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Jefferson, Carroll, and Trimble counties.
