1953 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

Nelsonville and the winding course of the Rolling Fork anchor this 1953 landscape where Nelson, Hardin, and Larue counties converge. The rugged topography is defined by prominent ridges like Cecil Ridge and Farmers Ridge, which separate a dense network of hollows including Pearl Hollow and Fatty Hollow. The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor traces the northern river valley, providing a vital link for these rural communities during the mid-century era.
