1965 Map of Waddy

About this map

The Southern railroad line cuts through the southern reaches of this landscape, connecting rural communities like Peytona and Graefenburg during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Jeptha Knob and Hemp Ridge, which rise above a network of waterways including Guist Creek Lake and Buffalo Lick Creek. This survey captures the transition from traditional Kentucky farm country toward modern utility development, evidenced by the presence of a Pipeline and a Radio Tower alongside older landmarks like Clay Village Sch. The map records an intricate web of travel routes such as Telephone Road and Benson Pike, showing the movement of goods and people between Clay Village and the Shelby and Franklin County border.
