1958 Map of Paducah East

About this map

Paducah sits at the vital confluence of the Ohio River and Tennessee River, serving as a major transportation hub in the late 1950s. The city's rail-and-river economy is evident in the dense network of the Illinois Central railroad, which services the North Yard and South Yard, while the Union Station marks the center of urban transit. The 1968 photorevision highlights suburban growth in purple, particularly around outlying communities such as Littleville, Tyler, and Woodlawn.
