1967 Map of Princeton East

About this map

Princeton serves as the primary hub for this portion of Caldwell County, where the industrial presence of the Illinois Central railroad intersects with local agricultural research at the Univ of Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Substation. The landscape is a mix of small hamlets like Scottsburg and Friendship and conservation lands such as the Jones-Keeney Wildlife Management Area. Numerous family burial grounds, including Wadlington Cem, McConnell Cem, and Dance-Nichols Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering vital clues for genealogical research. Water features such as Otter Pond, Railroad Lake, and Smith Lake provide distinct landmarks among the ridges, while the Princeton-Caldwell Airport and a local Drive-in Theater mark the mid-century infrastructure of the area.
