1953 Map of Polsgrove

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Harpers Ferry and Polsgrove define the rural character of this northern Kentucky landscape, where the Kentucky River winds through deeply carved valleys. The 1953 survey shows a region tightly bound by its watercourses, with the river forming natural boundaries between Owen, Henry, and Shelby counties. Settlement patterns are concentrated along high ridges and creek bottoms, anchored by a dense network of country churches like Grub Ridge Ch and Mt Carmel Ch. Educational life centers on the Bald Knob High Sch, while family history is etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds, including the Bailey Cem and Waits Cem. The map illustrates the transition from river-dependent crossings to ridge-top communities, with major tributaries like Flat Creek and Sixmile Creek shaping the local geography.
