About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the focal point of this Anderson County landscape, where the Anderson County Courthouse stands at the center of a dense street grid. The map illustrates the transition from the city’s industrial and educational centers, such as the Bluegrass Community and Technical College - Lawrenceburg Campus, to the smaller outlying communities of Alton Station and Avenstoke. This geography is defined by a dense network of country roads like Grafenburg Rd and Ninevah Rd that connect rural homesteads and family burial grounds.

Genealogists will find a concentration of local history in the numerous small cemeteries and graveyards, including Akins Cem, Buntain Cem, and the Carpenter Lane Graveyard. To the south, Stringtown sits near the banks of the Salt River, while the northern portion of the sheet is drained by S Benson Cr and Little-Benson-Cr. The map provides a clear look at the residential expansion and agricultural patterns surrounding the county seat in the early 21st century.
