About this map

Sadieville and Stamping Ground anchor this 1930s survey of the Kentucky Bluegrass region, where the winding course of Eagle Creek carves a deep valley through the northern landscape. The Southern Railway runs north-to-south through the eastern corridor, following the terrain near Rogers Gap and serving rural hubs like Hinton. This era shows a high density of small community structures, particularly local schoolhouses such as Hammond Sch, Stonewall Sch, and Yates Sch, which were often the social center for dispersed farmsteads.

Religious life is marked by numerous country sanctuaries, including Caesarea Ch and Rays Fork Ch. The presence of the Dixie Highway reflects the evolving road network as it passes through Corinth at the northern edge. From the hills of Zion Hill to the valley of the North Elkhorn Creek, the map documenting this transition between Owen Co and Scott Co preserves a landscape of small hamlets like New Columbus and Minorsville before mid-century consolidation.
