About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the primary hub in this late-1960s landscape, where the Southern railroad line cuts through the town near the Fairground and several municipal Water Tanks. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Salt River and Benson Creek, which carve through the terrain and separate small rural settlements. Further north, Alton Station and Alton indicate the historical importance of the rail corridor in Anderson County, while names like Lanes Mill and Ninevah point to earlier agricultural and milling centers that dot the hinterland near the Franklin Co Anderson Co boundary.

Local infrastructure is represented by a network of rural routes such as Avenstoke Road and Hammonds Road, connecting scattered hamlets like Avenstoke and Hammond. Cultural landmarks include the Fox Creek Ch and Sand Spring Ch, along with the Sand Spring Sch, which provide critical points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations in the central Kentucky countryside during this era of development.
