1950 Map of New Liberty

About this map

New Liberty serves as a focal point in this northern Kentucky landscape, situated amidst a dense network of creek valleys and family-named cemeteries. The 1950 field check reveals a rural community where civic life and memory are deeply intertwined, evidenced by the Masonic Cem and the I O O F Cem near Wheatley. The southwestern corner is defined by the sweeping bend of the Kentucky River, which forms the boundary between Owen and Henry counties. Along the rugged interior, many small cemeteries like the Thomas Cem and Wallace Cem are tucked into the hillsides, suggesting a long history of family homesteads. The transit network of the era is anchored by routes like the Citizens Pike, connecting smaller settlements like Pleasant Home and Squiresville to the larger river and creek systems such as Big Twin Creek.
