1957 Map of West Franklin
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The wide, sweeping arc of the Ohio River dominates the southern portion of this landscape, defining the boundary between Indiana and Kentucky at Cypress Bend. To the north, the terrain transitions into a dense network of rural infrastructure centered around the small settlement of West Franklin. The map reveals a mid-century community supported by numerous small institutions, from the Corpus Christi Sch and Perry Heights Sch in the east to St Pauls Ch in the west. Local transportation is anchored by the Louisville And Nashville Railroad, which cuts through the northern hills near Belknap. Notable landmarks such as Boehne Hospital and several family-named roads like Vickery Road and Duesner Road provide a granular view of the county's social and geographic layout before modern suburban expansion significantly altered the area.
