1959 Map of Nicholasville

About this map

Nicholasville serves as the central hub of this 1959 survey, showing the town's street grid and development at the intersection of the Southern railroad and regional thoroughfares. The surrounding Jessamine County landscape is defined by a network of rural roads such as Delaneys Ferry Road and Brannon Road, connecting small settlements and agricultural landmarks. To the north, the boundary between Fayette and Jessamine Counties passes near South Elkhorn and the Blue Grass Memorial Gardens. The drainage patterns of Hickman Creek and its branches, including West Branch, carve through the terrain toward the settlement of Union Mills. Local community life is evidenced by the presence of the County High Sch, Providence Ch, and mid-century cultural features like the Drive-in Theater along the Blue Grass Memorial Highway.
