1965 Map of Richmond North

About this map

The Whitehall State Shrine stands as a focal point in this 1965 survey, situated just north of the growing city of Richmond. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Kentucky River along the northwestern boundary and a network of drainages including Otter Creek and the West Fork. Settlement patterns here reflect the transition from rural agricultural land to early suburban expansion, evidenced by the inclusion of a Drive-in Theater and Trailer Park alongside established communities like White Hall and Redhouse. Local institutional history is well-represented by several rural congregations and educational sites, such as Mt Pleasant Ch, Mt Nebo Ch, and the Kit Carson Sch. The Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor remains a critical piece of infrastructure, cutting through the terrain and connecting these small Madison County outposts to the larger regional trade network.
