About this map

Danville serves as a significant regional hub on this 1960s-era survey, where the concentrated urban core around Centre College and the State Sch For The Deaf stands in contrast to the rural landscape of northern Boyle County. The town's grid expands into newer residential developments like Beverly Hills and Baughman Heights, while the historic center remains anchored by Constitution Square and the local Courthouse.

Outside the city limits, the landscape is defined by the winding Salt River and its tributaries, including Mocks Branch and Dry Branch. Traces of the region's early religious and social history are preserved in the locations of the Mud Meetinghouse, Salt River Ch, and the Pioneer Ch near the northern boundary. The Southern railroad line cuts a straight path through the undulating terrain, connecting the outlying community of Faulconer to the industrial and commercial activity in the county seat.
