About this map

Nicholasville anchors this mid-century look at central Kentucky, where the expanding urban footprint of Lexington meets the rural landscapes of Jessamine County. The transition from town to country is marked by emerging developments like Stonewall Estates, Brigadoon, and Blueberry Hill along the northern boundary. Farther south, the terrain descends toward the Hickman Creek drainage and the small settlement at Union Mills.

Historic transit and cultural sites are visible throughout the landscape, from the Waveland Museum to older rural institutions like Stonewall Ch and Providence Ch. The map captures the interplay of modern infrastructure, such as the Radio Tower (WNVL) and a local Quarry, with traditional landmarks like Marshall Ridge and the Blue Grass Memorial Gardens (Cem). Rural life is defined by a network of local routes including Delaneys Ferry Road and Groggins Ferry Road.
