1967 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

The Rolling Fork river winds along the northern boundary of this central Kentucky landscape, defining a border between Nelson, Hardin, and LaRue counties. The Blue Grass Parkway cuts through the northern hills near Potmesser Knob and Cedar Knob, marking the modern infrastructure of the late 1960s. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the Lincoln Trail meanders through the ridges and hollows, connecting smaller rural communities like Roanoke and Nelsonville.
