1954 Map of Ballardsville

About this map

Ballardsville and the surrounding agrarian landscape of Shelby and Oldham Counties are captured here just after the mid-century. This region is defined by a dense network of small watercourses, including Floyds Fork and Bullskin Creek, which carve through the terrain and dictated the placement of early settlements. The map highlights the localized community structure of the era, where social life centered on institutions like Dover Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and the Gleneyrie Sch.
