1897 Map of Richmond
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Kentucky River carves a winding path through the Bluegrass and Knobs regions in this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its waterways and early transportation networks. Before modern bridges dominated the region, numerous river crossings such as Jackson Ferry, Boone Ferry, and Cobb Ferry linked the communities of Madison and Clark counties. The interior is a dense web of smaller settlements and family-named landmarks, including the historic estate of White Hall and the rail-connected hub of Richmond.
