1954 Map of Polkville

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The winding loops of the Barren River dominate this mid-century landscape in Warren and Allen counties, where rural life revolved around scattered crossroads and small-scale resource extraction. By the mid-1950s, numerous Oil Wells and at least one Gas Well were established across the countryside, particularly near Hardcastle and Greenhill. The map preserves the locations of vital community anchors like Berea Ch, Bethany Ch, and the Alvaton Sch, alongside family-named landmarks such as the Kimbrough Cem and Petty Cem. Evidence of aviation and infrastructure is seen in the Bowling Green Radio Range Station and the Iron Bridge crossing. The boundary line between Allen Co and Warren Co cuts through the southeastern corner, while primary thoroughfares like Porter Road and Cemetery Road connect the agricultural interior to larger regional hubs.
