1952 Map of Reed

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Green River meanders sharply through the heart of this mid-century landscape, defining the winding boundary between Henderson and Daviess Counties. The terrain is shaped by a complex network of drainage ditches and sloughs, such as Richland Slough and Hurricane Slough, which support the agricultural lowlands. Along the northern edge, the Ohio River flows past French Island No 2, while the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a straight path through the floodplain to serve the community of Reed. This area was an active extraction zone in the early 1950s, evidenced by the numerous oil wells dotting the landscape around Birk City and Newman. Local heritage is anchored by rural institutions including Mt Zion Ch, Little Flock Ch, and St Peters Cem, providing specific landmarks for genealogical research in this river-bottom territory.
