1953 Map of New Haven

About this map

The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani anchors this portion of Nelson and LaRue Counties, serving as a significant spiritual and geographic landmark near Gethsemane. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Rolling Fork and Beech Fork rivers, which carve through a dense concentration of knobs, including Watson Knob and the Forty Acre Knobs. These elevations create a distinct topography where small settlements like Culvertown and Icetown Ch are tucked into the valleys and gaps.
