About this map

The Pond River meanders through the heart of this Western Kentucky landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Hopkins and McLean counties. Near the eastern edge, Sacramento emerges as the primary hub of activity, supported by the Consolidated Sch and Free Union Cem. The surrounding rural countryside is dotted with small community centers and spiritual landmarks such as Towers Chapel, West Chapel, and Pack Ch.

Evidence of early 1950s industry is visible through several Oil Well sites located in the lowlands near the river. Crossings like Brazzel Bridge and Coffman Bridge over Cypress Creek highlight the local transportation network that connected these agricultural pockets. The map also captures genealogical details like the Moore Cem and the small settlement of Poplar Grove, providing a clear look at the distribution of family farms and homesteads during the post-war era.
