1972 Map of Maud

About this map

The winding Beech Fork river carves a distinct path through the landscape of the Nelson and Washington County border, framing a collection of rural crossroads and river settlements. In the early 1970s, this area retained much of its traditional character, with small communities like Maud, Fredericktown, and Mooresville serving as local anchors. A notable physical landmark is the Covered Bridge spanning the Beech Fork, situated near the tight river bends of Cooney Neck. In the northern portion of the map, the Blue Grass Parkway cuts a modern diagonal across older routes like Stringtown Road and A Lane. Local religious and family history is preserved at sites such as Campground Ch, Walkers Chapel, and the Holy Trinity Cem near Fredericktown, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure oriented around the river and its many tributaries, including Cartwright Creek and Sunfish Creek.
