1967 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

Rolling Fork carves a deep meandering path across this landscape, dividing the ridges and hollows where Hardin, LaRue, and Nelson Counties meet. The mid-century topography reveals a mix of old agrarian roots and modern infrastructure, notably where the Blue Grass Parkway and Younger Toll Road cut across the northern hills. Longstanding family footprints are evident in the numerous small burial grounds such as Bledsoe Cem, Johnson Cem, and Neff Cem that dot the high ground between Broadhead Hollow and Farmers Ridge.
