About this map

The Bullitt Co Nelson Co line bisects this 1962 landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as a primary corridor through the rolling Kentucky terrain. The northern reaches are defined by the Salt River and its numerous tributaries, including Cox Creek and Greens Branch. Settlement patterns are concentrated around rural junctions and rail stops such as Samuels, Deatsville, and Brownington.

Social and spiritual life in the mid-century is marked by landmarks like St Gregorys Ch, its associated St Gregorys Sch, and the New Salem Ch. To the southwest, the wooded expanses of Bernheim Forest dominate the topography, characterized by deep ravines like Jackson Hollow and Shepherd Hollow. The map also details early utility infrastructure with a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern ridges near Cedar Ridge.
