1981 Map of Waterford

About this map

Waterford serves as a central hub on this 1981 survey, positioned at the convergence of several waterways including Plum Creek and Little Plum Creek. The landscape is defined by the meandering Salt River, which carves through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Chadbourn Branch. This rural area at the junction of Spencer, Bullitt, and Jefferson counties shows a network of family-named roads and remote settlements such as Whitfield and Crenshaw. A pipeline cuts across the terrain, illustrating the modern utility infrastructure overlaying a traditionally agrarian geography. Genealogists may find value in the scattered cemeteries and local landmarks like Wheelers Ridge and Dutchman Creek, which help anchor the locations of historical homesteads and land holdings within the river valley and its surrounding hollows.
