1952 Map of Paris East

About this map

Stoner Creek meanders through the heart of Bourbon County, carving deep loops into the limestone landscape east of Paris. This mid-century survey captures a region defined by its productive agricultural uplands and the winding river valleys that divide them. The prominent Cane Ridge plateau occupies the northern half of the map, a landscape long associated with early Kentucky settlement and religious history. The Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a straight path across the western corner, providing a stark contrast to the serpentine paths of Strodes Creek and Harrods Creek. Modern 1970s updates reveal the post-war growth of the region, including a Drive-in Theater and Race track on the outskirts of town, while the rural interior remains anchored by locations like Spears Mill Ch and the small settlement at Jackstown.
