About this map

Paris serves as the focal point of this Bluegrass region survey, situated at the confluence of several key waterways and transportation routes. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Stoner Creek and Houston Creek, which carve through the undulating terrain of Bourbon Co. Beyond the primary settlement, the map reveals a network of smaller rural communities and rail-side stops like Elizabeth Station, Brentsville, and Monterey.

Local history is preserved through the documentation of numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Hopewell Ch, Antioch Ch, and the Fisher Cem. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade alongside active Railroad lines illustrates the evolving infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Educational sites such as the South Side Sch and the Co Vocational Sch indicate the community's development during this era of post-war growth in central Kentucky.
