1952 Map of Yosemite

About this map

Yosemite and Middleburg serve as central points in this mid-century portrait of Casey County, where the Green River carves a winding path through the northern landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and knobs, including Hatter Knob and Salyer Knob, which dictate the placement of early rural infrastructure. Small community hubs are scattered across these uplands, often identified by local institutions like Freedom Sch, Poplar Hill Sch, and Mt Olive Ch. The drainage patterns of Hatter Creek and Lick Creek illustrate the historical reliance on these waterways for early land divisions. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked family-named burial grounds such as Hatter Cem and Durham Cem, alongside several one-room schoolhouses that reflect a decentralized rural education system prior to modern consolidation.
