1965 Map of Mason

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor anchors this mid-century landscape, linking the established settlements of Mason and Braden across the Tipton and Fayette county line. The terrain is defined by the broad wetlands of Baxter Bottom and the meandering paths of Middle Beaver Creek and East Beaver Creek. This survey captures a rural community deeply connected to its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches and cemeteries such as Hopewell Ch, Salem Cem, and Beech Chapel that dot the crossroads.
