About this map

The boundary between Bourbon Co and Clark Co bisects this Kentucky landscape, which centers on the northward-flowing currents of Strodes and Stoner creeks. Near the southern edge, the growth of Winchester is evident through residential developments like Victory Heights, Bel Air, and Meadowbrook, while the Central Sch and Victory Heights Sch anchor these mid-century communities. Further north, the smaller settlement of Austerlitz stands at the intersection of Thatchers and Mill roads, representing the more rural character of the Bluegrass region.

Transportation and infrastructure dominate the lower half of the map, featuring the Louisville and Nashville railroad and a significant pipeline corridor. A notable detail of this era is the highway segment labeled Under Construction south of the Radio Tower (WWKY), marking a period of modern transit expansion. Historically significant sites such as Stony Point Ch and various named runs and creeks illustrate a landscape deeply tied to its local drainage patterns and early parish centers.
