1955 Map of New Concord

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Kentucky Lake Tennessee River dominates the landscape of Calloway County in the mid-1950s, following the creation of the massive reservoir that transformed the local geography. The map reveals a dense network of rural communities and crossroads such as New Concord, Faxon, and Pottertown, many of which are anchored by local spiritual life at Russell Chapel, Friendship Ch, and New Mt Carmel Ch. To the east, the area known as Between the Rivers shows a less settled, more wooded character, including the Kentucky Woodlands Wildlife Refuge. This era captures the transition of the region into a recreational and conservation hub, evidenced by the Irvin Cobb Resort and the Kentucky State Park lands. Genealogists can trace family footprints through numerous cemeteries and small rural education centers like Independence Sch and Faxon Sch situated along the winding creek valleys.
