1953 Map of Polsgrove

About this map

The Kentucky River carves deep, winding bends through the countryside where Franklin, Owen, and Henry counties meet. This mid-century view shows a landscape defined by sharp ridges and narrow creek bottoms, where rural life centered on dispersed communities like Polsgrove and Harvieland. The river's influence is evident in the naming of large meanders such as Steamboat Hollow Bend and Payton Bend, while the interior terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Lecomte Bottom and the Hutcherson Cem.
