1951 Map of Oak Level

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Oak Level and its surrounding communities sit at a crossroads of Western Kentucky history, where family legacies are marked by dozens of small burial grounds across the landscape. The West Fork Clarks River meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle, defining the lowlands near the Graves Co Marshall Co line. This early 1950s survey shows a rural economy centered on community landmarks like the Oak Level School and Soldier Creek Church. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named cemeteries, including the Bondurant Cem, Stanfield Cem, and Gibson Cem, indicating long-standing settlement patterns prior to mid-century modernization. The terrain rises to distinct points such as Waller Hill and Potato Hill, while the southern reaches near Brewers are fed by the network of Soldier Creek and Duncan Creek.
