1967 Map of Danville

About this map

Centre College and the State Sch For The Deaf form the educational heart of Danville, where a dense network of streets like Main St and Broadway surround the historic Constitution Square. This mid-century landscape captures the town’s growth toward neighborhoods like Baughman Heights and Beverly Hills, while the surrounding Bluegrass countryside remains defined by family-named landmarks and historical sites. Along the Salt River and its various branches, researchers can find the Mud Meetinghouse and the Salt River Cem, reflecting the early religious and settlement history of Mercer and Boyle counties. The Southern railroad line runs north-south through the center, connecting the urban core to outlying communities like Faulconer and Burgin. From the Pioneer Playhouse on the eastern edge to the heights of Davis Hill in the west, the map documents a transition from established institutional centers to emerging residential developments.
