1982 Map of Mount Washington

About this map

Mount Washington serves as the focal point of this northern Bullitt County landscape, shown during a period of urban expansion into the surrounding Kentucky countryside. The settlement is anchored by several historic community markers, including Mount Washington Cemetery, St. Francis Cemetery, and Showalter Cemetery. To the north, the smaller community of Fairmount sits near the winding course of Floyds Fork, while the southern boundary is defined by the broad curves of the Salt River near Smithville. The map illustrates the transition from rural agricultural land to suburban development, with many family-named roads like Thixton Road and Jasper Road providing access to older landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, such as Gentry Cemetery and Perkins Cemetery, which remain preserved even as newer developments like the Trailer Park and Sewage Disposal facility appear on the outskirts of the town.
