1961 Map of Ballardsville

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Ballardsville and the surrounding farmland of Shelby and Oldham Counties are defined by a complex network of stream valleys during the mid-20th century. The topography is shaped by the various forks of Floyds Fork and numerous runs, including Lick Run and Hebron Run, which carve the landscape between prominent heights like Gathright Hill and Lincolnfellow Hill. This 1961 survey, updated with late-1970s data, illustrates a rural Kentucky landscape where local life centered around small crossroads and family-named infrastructure.
