About this map

The Illinois Central Railroad cuts across the northern landscape of this Kentucky region, connecting the community of Corydon to the broader agricultural and industrial network of Henderson County. The town site is well-developed with the Corydon Sch and Corydon Ch serving as central landmarks, while the County Home sits just to the east. Further south, the map reveals a shift toward resource extraction, marked by a sprawling Oil and Gas Field and a significant Underground Gas Storage Field that dominates the central terrain.

Small rural settlements such as Rock Springs, Cairo, and Tunnel Hill are linked by a complex web of named local roads like Overfield Road and Royster Road. Along the southern border, the village of Poole sits at the junction of several routes, positioned where the hills begin to descend toward Whitelick Creek and Caldwell Creek. The map provides excellent genealogical detail through family-named landmarks and sites like Jonesburg Cem and Tapp Cem.
