1951 Map of Olmstead

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Olmstead sits at the southern edge of this mid-century survey, positioned along the Louisville and Nashville railroad line. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Whippoorwill Creek and its various tributaries, including Bennett Branch and Vicks Branch. This rural portion of the Kentucky-Tennessee border region shows a high density of community institutions that served the agricultural population, including the Greenridge Sch, Union Sch, and several houses of worship such as Cumberland Ch and Johnson Chapel. The map reveals a transition between concentrated settlements like Daysville and the more dispersed farming clusters near Pea Ridge and Gordonsville. Local family history is well-preserved through numerous named landmarks and burial sites, including the Browder Cem, Bennett Cem, and Lee Cem, alongside the centrally located County Home.
