1965 Map of Meador

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Barren River defines this portion of the Kentucky landscape, shown here as it transitioned into a managed waterway following the construction of the Barren River Dam. The map captures the newly formed Barren River Reservoir and its inundation zones, which altered the historical access points along the river's winding course. While modern infrastructure like pipelines and several Oil Wells appear, the area remains anchored by long-standing rural communities such as Meador, Kepler, and Martinsville. Evidence of older transportation methods survives in labels for Martinsville Ford and Port Oliver Ford, which once provided vital crossings before the reservoir's creation. Local social life is mapped through numerous country churches, including Lawrence Chapel and Mt Union Ch, along with the Pleasant Grove School, providing a detailed look at the settlement patterns of Warren, Barren, and Allen Counties.
