1954 Map of Riverside

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Riverside and Jetson anchor a landscape defined by the winding course of the Green River and its confluence with the Barren River at Sproul Bend. This mid-century survey reveals a deeply rural community supported by a dense network of country schools and churches. Educational landmarks like Cedar Grove Sch and Leonard Oak Sch are scattered across the ridges, while congregations gathered at Oak Forest Ch and Mt Union Ch. Family history is preserved in numerous small burial grounds such as the Johnson Cem, Peyton Cem, and Nudger Cem. The topography is marked by distinct ridges like Hogback Ridge and Lettered Rock Ridge, which forced a settlement pattern of isolated farmsteads and small crossroads connected by winding roads and a prominent pipeline corridor crossing the river valleys.
