About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s survey, showing a landscape defined by its position along the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the winding course of Shoal Creek. The town center reveals an established civic heart with the Courthouse, Post Office, and City Hall, while suburban growth is reflected in schools like West Highland Sch and E. O. Coffman Jr High Sch. To the west, the expansive David Crockett State Park protects the terrain around Wildcat Ridge, preserving the natural breaks in the topography that characterize this part of Lawrence County.

Rural life outside the city is documented through numerous family and community landmarks, from the Mimosa Cem and Hopewell Ch to the small settlement of Leoma in the southwest. The presence of the Lawrenceburg Municipal Airport and multiple substations indicates the infrastructure supporting the area's mid-century development. Significant water features like Hood Lake and the dramatic Horseshoe Bend illustrate the complex drainage system feeding into the Sugar Creek watershed.
