1952 Map of Mayfield
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Illinois Central railroad cuts a straight line through the heart of Graves County, anchoring the town of Mayfield in the northeast and passing through Pryorsburg toward Wingo. This 1952 snapshot shows a landscape defined by the intersection of rural agriculture and small-town industry, with the Kentucky Agricultural Exp Sta and a Clay Mine located between the larger settlements. The map is particularly dense with family and community landmarks, featuring an extensive network of cemeteries such as Maplewood Cem, St Joseph Cem, and Saxon Cem. Tributaries like Obion Creek and West Fork Mayfield Creek wind through the terrain, which is dotted with rural institutions like Pleasant Hill Sch and Shady Grove Ch. Smaller communities like Happy Hollow, New Liberty, and Stubblefield are clearly marked, providing a detailed record of the mid-century population distribution.
