1951 Map of Robards

About this map

Robards serves as the central hub of this mid-century Henderson County landscape, situated along the vital Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The area is defined by its agricultural and industrial character, where expansive Oil Fields and a Gas Pipe Line intersect with traditional rural landmarks. The drainage of the lowlands is meticulously documented through Barrett Ditch and the winding reaches of Canoe Creek and its many forks, eventually leading toward the Green River at the southeastern corner. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including the Denton, Agnew, and Tolbert cemeteries, alongside established houses of worship like Cherry Hill Church and McMullin Chapel. This detailed survey, conducted just after the war, provides an exacting look at the settlement patterns along the Henderson and Webster County line.
