About this map

Winchester serves as the focal point of activity on this mid-1960s survey, positioned where the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridors and the emerging Mountain Parkway intersect. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Strodes Creek and Green Creek, with rural life clustered around older crossings like Austerlitz and Renick. Suburban growth is evident in developments such as Victory Heights, Bel Air, and Meadowbrook, which contrast with the surrounding agricultural land delineated by fence and field lines.

Institutional markers like Central Sch and the Radio Tower (WWKY) provide specific landmarks for local history researchers. The presence of Stony Point and various unnamed Cem locations scattered throughout the Bourbon and Clark County borderlands offer valuable data points for genealogical study. The map also documents modern infrastructure of the era, including a Pipeline and the regional Airstrip.
