About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the central hub of this pre-war Kentucky landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville and Illinois Central railroads intersect. The region is characterized by a dense network of rural schoolhouses and churches, such as St Ignatius Ch and the Gilead Sch, reflecting the tightly-knit farming communities of Hardin and LaRue Counties. Along the winding Nolin River, small industrial and social landmarks like Star Mills, Eagle Mills, and the Childrens Home appear alongside family-named landmarks like Mathers Mill.
