1954 Map of Polkville

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Barren River meanders sharply across this mid-century landscape, carving deep loops through the terrain of Warren and Allen Counties. The rural economy of the mid-1950s is clearly visible in the concentration of Oil Wells and Gas Wells clustered near the settlement of Hardcastle. This activity is balanced by a dense network of country institutions, including Pleasant Hill Ch and the Rocky Springs Sch, which served the outlying communities of Gotta and Polkville. The map captures a moment when local infrastructure relied on landmarks like the Iron Bridge and named thoroughfares such as Cemetery Road and Porter Road. Toward the southwest, the Bowling Green Radio Range Station stands as a sign of mid-century technological development near the Alvaton Sch and Bethany Ch.
