About this map

The town of Lawrenceburg serves as the focal point of this late 1960s landscape, positioned near the intersection of the Southern Railway and local transit routes. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Salt River in the south and the drainage networks of Benson Creek and Little Benson Creek to the north, which carve through the central Kentucky hills. Cultural landmarks such as the Fairground, Water Tanks, and the County High Sch indicate the town's role as a regional hub.

Smaller outlying communities like Alton, Alton Station, and Ninevah are connected by a web of rural roads including Wilson Road and McCormick Road. Rural life is further evidenced by several scattered Cem locations and parish centers like Alton Ch and Sand Spring Ch. The map also details early industrial and infrastructure elements, including Lanes Mill and a Sewage Disposal facility near the town center.
