1979 Map of Woodburn

About this map

Drakes Creek and the West Fork carve through the southern landscape of this Warren and Simpson County border region, where agricultural patterns are defined by the winding waterways and the heavy transit line of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. The settlement of Woodburn serves as a local hub, featuring the Woodburn Sch and Woodburn Ch near the rail corridor. Further south, the community of Salmons sits along the road to Nashville, while institutional landmarks like the County Home and Methodist Home appear on the periphery of the established towns. The terrain is dotted with traditional country sanctuaries including Old Zion Ch and Stevenson Ch, alongside several nameless Cem sites that provide essential data for those tracing local family lineages. Industrial activity is represented by a solitary Quarry, highlighting the limestone resources characteristic of this Kentucky karst topography.
