1952 Map of Russellville

About this map

Russellville serves as the focal point of this Logan County landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad lines intersect at the heart of the community. In the early 1950s, the surrounding countryside remains deeply rooted in a network of small settlements and rural institutions. To the southwest, Ferguson and Lebanon are established along the winding path of Whippoorwill Creek, while dozens of country churches like Post Oak Ch and Whitaker Grove Ch act as local landmarks. The presence of the County Home Cem and the Williams Store crossroads suggests a self-contained agrarian economy. Significant terrain features, including Luckett Knob, punctuate the karst-like topography, which is also characterized by intermittent drainage features such as Dry Fork. This survey documents a transition period where traditional rural outposts like O'Roark and Cave Spring persist alongside modern developments such as the local Golf Course.
