1953 Map of Waterview

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through southern Kentucky, creating the dramatic Salt Lick Bend and fertile lowlands like Whites Bottom. During the early 1950s, this area remained largely rural, centered on the county seat of Burkesville and smaller settlements such as Waterview, Grider, and Ellington. The landscape is defined by its water-dependent transport and topography, featuring river crossings like Cloyds Landing Ferry and Oliver Ferry that connected isolated communities before modern bridge infrastructure dominated the region.
