1953 Map of Polsgrove

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Harpers Ferry and the winding course of the Kentucky River dominate this early 1950s survey of the borderlands between Franklin, Henry, and Owen Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp meanders of Flat Creek and Sand Ripple Creek, which carve through the terrain to meet the river at Lecompte Bottom. This era shows a distributed network of upland rural communities and valley floor settlements connected by winding ridge roads. Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous family landmarks and rural institutions, including the Bald Knob High Sch and several country churches like Pleasant Ridge Ch and Mt Carmel Ch. The presence of small burial grounds such as Hutcherson Cem and Moore Cem near the Polsgrove and Ottusville areas provides specific touchpoints for local family history research in this river-oriented region.
