1991 Map of Elizabethtown

About this map

Elizabethtown sits at the intersection of several major transit corridors, reflecting its role as a regional hub in the late twentieth century. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Blue Grass Parkway, Western Kentucky Parkway, and Lincoln Parkway, which wrap around the southern and eastern edges of the city. These modern routes contrast with the historical Old Railroad Grade and numerous small country churches like Severns Valley Ch and St James Ch that anchor the older residential and rural neighborhoods. To the north, Freeman Lake and its surrounding Freeman Lake Park provide a significant recreational anchor, while the surrounding terrain is marked by local high points such as Tunnel Hill and Miller Hill. The mapping of small features like Browns Cem and several Radio Towers indicates the complex layering of historical family land and modern infrastructure typical of this Kentucky county seat.
