1954 Map of Reedyville

About this map

Green River navigation and rural ridge-top settlement define this mid-century portrait of the Kentucky backcountry at the junction of Butler, Edmonson, and Warren Counties. The river loops through deep bends like Fallover Bend, serving as a vital corridor marked by Lock No 5 and Honakers Ferry. Settlement is concentrated on the high ground of Region Ridge and around crossroads like Reedyville, where community life centered on Bethlehem Ch. The map reveals the early industrial footprint of the region through an Asphalt Quarry near Segal and scattered strip mines. Genealogists can locate numerous family burial grounds, including Threlkel Cem, Cardwell Cem, and Honakers Cem, while schools such as Mt Lebanon Sch represent the era's local education network before further consolidation.
