About this map

Bardstown and the surrounding Nelson County landscape are anchored by the prominent historic estate of Federal Hill and the academic grounds of Nazareth. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern layout of the city, showing how residential growth has expanded toward East Bardstown and north through Withrow. The terrain is deeply influenced by the winding course of the Beech Fork and its tributaries, including Rowan Cr and Withrow Cr, which carve through the limestone-rich topography.

Genealogists can identify significant burial sites such as Saint Josephs Cem and Sutherland Cem, while local historians can trace the development of infrastructure near Samuels Field. The map also details the vital water resources for the area, from the Bardstown Reservoir to Barton Lake, reflecting a region where historical significance and modern utility are closely tied to the natural drainage patterns of the Plum Run and Cane Run valleys.
