About this map

Boonesboro sits at the northern edge of this Madison County landscape, where the Kentucky River forms the natural boundary with Fayette County. The early 1950s terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, with Otter Creek and its branches, including the East Fk Otter Creek, carving through the central hills. The Louisville and Nashville railroad runs along the eastern corridor, serving small rural stations like Redhouse.

Social and civic life is anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Pleasant Ch, White Hall Sch, and the community of White Hall. To the south, the expansion of Richmond begins to reach toward Arlington, showing the transition from agricultural land to the northern outskirts of the city. For those tracing local families, the inclusion of several unnamed Cem markers and the Taylor Cem provides specific points of interest on the mid-century landscape.
