About this map

The Lexington Blue Grass Army Depot dominates the central landscape of this Kentucky survey, highlighting the military infrastructure situated between the Bourbon, Clark, and Fayette county lines. This mid-century view captures a transition from traditional rural hamlets to modernized transportation corridors. The regional rail economy is clearly mapped through the intersecting routes of the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Louisville and Nashville railroads, which served scattered communities like Avon, Clintonville, and Chilesburg.

Local social centers and small settlements are meticulously documented, including Uttingertown, Wyandotte, and Old Pine Grove. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of the Macedonia Ch and the Briar Hill Sch, alongside landmarks of mid-century leisure like the Drive-in Theater. The map also illustrates the agricultural character of the area through fine red dashed lines indicating field and fence boundaries across the drainage basins of Bethlehem Creek and Green Creek.
