1949 Map of Robards

About this map

Robards serves as the central hub of this 1940s landscape, situated along the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The area is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural congregations, including Cherry Hill Church and McMullin Chapel, which speak to the deep genealogical roots of Henderson and Webster Counties. The terrain is notably marked by an extensive Oil Field spanning the southwestern portion of the sheet, indicating the petroleum extraction that fueled the local economy alongside traditional farming during the post-war era.
