1955 Map of New Concord

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Blood River flows into the expansive Kentucky Lake in this mid-century portrait of Calloway County. The settlement of New Concord sits at the heart of a landscape defined by its rural social centers, where local life revolved around numerous congregations like Sulphur Springs Church and Macedonia Ch. The mapping reveals a transition in land use, as former wooded areas were recompiled by the Tennessee Valley Authority while traditional family-named landmarks remained prominent. Family historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, such as Grogane Cem, Outland Cem, and Stubblefield Cem, which are scattered throughout the hollows and ridges. Toward the northwest, Pottertown and New Providence mark the periphery of the agricultural lands, while a prominent lookout tower stands watch over the western high ground.
