1970 Map of Mattingly

About this map

The Ohio River forms the natural northwestern boundary of this 1970 study, where the waters of Clover Creek and Hites Run drain through the ridges of Breckinridge County. The town of Cloverport stands at the confluence of the river and creek, serving as a hub for the Louisville and Nashville railroad line. Inland, the map reveals a landscape defined by small rural settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Mattingly and Balltown. Numerous small country churches and cemeteries, including New Bethel Ch, Pisgah Ch, and Chapin Cem, are scattered across the winding ridgelines, offering vital data for genealogists. The presence of pipelines and a Quarry near Sheep Run provides evidence of the local industrial footprint, while the state border between Kentucky and Indiana is meticulously traced through the middle of the river channel.
