About this map

Mississippi River frontage and the dissected bluffs of Hickman and Fulton counties define this western Kentucky landscape in the early 1950s. The terrain is shaped by the transition from the river bottomlands to the uplands, where the Mobile and Ohio and Illinois Central railroads provided critical transport for the agricultural community. Small settlements such as Oakton and South Columbus serve as focal points for the surrounding rural road network, while places like Greenville Crossing and Whaynes Corner highlight the localized nature of mid-century commerce and transit.
