1954 Map of Petroleum

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Scottsville sits at the northern edge of this map, serving as a hub for the rolling terrain along the Kentucky-Tennessee border during the mid-20th century. Numerous Oil Wells dot the landscape near Rodemer Branch and Watkins Branch, indicating the localized petroleum extraction that gave the community of Petroleum its name. The map documents a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Waterworks and hospital in the north to isolated country schools like Union Chapel Sch and Shady Grove Sch.
