2022 Map of Bardstown

About this map

Bardstown serves as the central hub of this Nelson County landscape, where the street grid expands from historical cores like Federal Hill toward modern developments. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Beech Fork and its tributaries, including Rowan Cr and Withrow Cr. These waterways carved the undulating terrain that hosts the community's established institutions and residential growth. To the north, the campus of Nazareth and the settlement of Bourbon Springs sit near the high ground of Abbey Ridge, while the town's domestic water supply is secured at the Bardstown Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of Saint Josephs Cem and the larger Bardstown Cem. The transition from the dense downtown near the Nelson County Justice Center to the outlying areas of East Bardstown and Botland illustrates the town's enduring role as a regional center of commerce and law.
