1959 Map of Shetlerville

About this map

Shetlerville and the neighboring hills of the Shawnee National Forest define this landscape along the Ohio River during the late 1950s. The river is a central artery of movement, featuring Rondeau Island and the primary state boundary between Illinois and Kentucky. Inland, the terrain is marked by a concentration of extractive industry and rural infrastructure, including the Baker Mine, Stewart Mine, and a Gravel Pit. The Illinois Central railroad serves the riverfront community, passing through the junction at Humm Wye. A significant number of family and community cemeteries, such as Troutman Cem, Soward Cem, and Vaughn Cem, are scattered across the ridges, providing valuable geographic markers for genealogists. The map also highlights local landmarks like Horseshoe Lake and several rural congregations including St Joseph Ch and Union Ch, illustrating the social fabric of the river valley settlements.
