About this map

Bardstown and its historic core serve as the anchor for this 1967 Nelson County survey, which shows a landscape balancing its deep institutional history with mid-century transit expansions. The town center is densely detailed, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and several prominent educational and religious sites including the Nazareth College and Academy and St Josephs Preparatory Sch. The southern edge of the community is marked by the expansive My Old Kentucky Home State Park, while the northern industrial and transport corridor is defined by the L & N RR and the Blue Grass Parkway toll road.

The winding course of the Beech Fork and Rowan Creek define the rural outskirts, where smaller settlements like Botland and Early Times are mapped. This edition includes purple photorevised updates from 1984, capturing the literal footprint of suburban and commercial growth reaching toward the Toll Road interchanges, revealing how this regional hub expanded beyond its original 19th-century limits.
