About this map

Campbellsville serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, showing a period of significant local infrastructure and recreational development. The campus of Campbellsville College and the Taylor County High Sch anchor the town's northern edge, while the expansion of the city is evident in the detailed street grids of South Campbellsville. The presence of the Taylor County Airport and the Fairgrounds reflects the town's role as a regional hub in central Kentucky.

To the south, the landscape is defined by the creation of Green River Lake, which inundated the winding valleys of Robinson Creek and Smith Ridge Creek. This transformation of the terrain is highlighted by the establishment of Green River Lake State Park and Taylor County Park, providing a sharp contrast between the dense urban footprint of the county seat and the newly formed recreational shoreline. Traditional landmarks like Brookside Cemetery and numerous country churches, such as Woodlawn Ch and Shady Grove Ch, remain as historical anchors across the ridges.
