1952 Map of Moberly

About this map

Lexington Blue Grass Army Depot and the related Blue Grass Activity dominate the central landscape of this Madison County map, illustrating the significant military and logistical footprint in the region during the mid-20th century. The topography is defined by the winding course of Muddy Creek, which flows past established rural settlements such as Moberly, Elliston, and Waco. The 1970s updates reveal the expansion of woodland and the maturation of these sites, while the earlier 1952 data preserves a network of local community landmarks. Numerous institutions serve these communities, including Concord School, Speedwell School, and Goodloe Chapel. Further south, the Central Kentucky Wildlife Management Area marks a shift toward conservation and public land use along Drowning Creek, contrasting with the more densely settled areas near Richmond and Kingston to the west.
