1967 Map of Danville

About this map

Danville serves as the focal point of this central Kentucky landscape, where the historic core around Constitution Square meets the institutional grounds of Centre College and the Kentucky State Sch for the Deaf. The city is surrounded by emerging residential developments such as Baughman Heights and Beverly Hills, while the northern reaches of the map retain their agrarian character, punctuated by the Southern railroad line passing through Faulconer. The terrain is shaped by the meandering Salt River and its tributaries, including Mocks Branch and Spears Creek. Significant local history is preserved at sites like the Mud Meetinghouse and Pioneer Ch, alongside numerous family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds like Salt River Ch Cem and Burgin Cem, offering a detailed view of the region's mid-century transition.
