1952 Map of Panola

About this map

The Kentucky River winds along the northern and eastern reaches of this early 1950s terrain, marking a sharp transition from the river valley to the complex ridges of Madison and Estill counties. Small agricultural communities and rural schoolhouses, such as Maddie Sch and Sand Hill Sch, are tucked into the drainages of Drowning Creek and Crooked Creek. The Louisville And Nashville railroad follows the river's path, serving the settlements of West Irvine and Wisemantown.
