1971 Map of Reed

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Green River meanders sharply through the lowlands of Henderson and Daviess counties, creating a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water bodies like Reed Slough and Martin Slough. This landscape, characterized by its shifting river channels and expansive drainage ditches, is anchored by the Sloughs Wildlife Management Area. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground, with small communities such as Reed, Newman, and Birk City serving as local hubs. The transport of the era is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor and the Audubon Parkway, which cut through a region heavily utilized for energy extraction, evidenced by the numerous oil and gas wells scattered across the map. Local life centers on rural institutions like St Peters Sch and the Pleasant Hill Ch, while the Ohio River and French Island No 2 dominate the northern border.
