About this map

Lexington and Paris anchor this 1920s survey of the Bluegrass region, where a dense network of turnpikes and pikes connects thoroughbred estates and small agrarian hamlets. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Elkhorn Creek and the South Fork Elkhorn Creek, dotted with historic landmarks like Russell Cave and the expansive grounds of Elmendorf. A complex web of transportation, including the Louisville and Nashville RR and the Southern Ry, crisscrosses the rolling terrain, serving established communities such as Newtown, Clintonville, and Chilesburg.
