About this map

The Lexington Blue Grass Army Depot dominates the center of this mid-century landscape, illustrating the military footprint in the Bluegrass region during the Cold War era. Surrounding this industrial installation is a network of traditional Kentucky farming communities and small settlements like Clintonville, Uttingertown, and Columbus. The map captures the transition from rail-dependent agriculture to modern infrastructure, showing the Louisville and Nashville and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads intersecting with rural corridors such as Ironworks Road and Van Meter Road.

Local history researchers will find a dense collection of community landmarks, including Bethlehem Ch, Macedonia Ch, and the Briar Hill Sch. The terrain is defined by its hydrology, with Houston Creek and Johnson Creek winding through the countryside. From the established grounds of Avon to the sites of Pine Grove and Old Pine Grove, this survey documents a specific moment in Fayette and Bourbon County development.
