1962 Map of Samuels

About this map

The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as the primary industrial corridor for this portion of the Bluegrass region, threading through the rural communities of Deatsville and Samuels. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Salt River in the north and the complex network of hollows and ridges such as Ashlock Hollow and Orchard Ridge to the south. A significant portion of the landscape is dedicated to Bernheim Forest, while the presence of St Gregorys Ch and its accompanying St Gregorys Sch suggests a established community center near Henpeck. The map also captures the transition from open agricultural land to the wooded slopes of Spicewood Flat, providing a clear record of land use before modern suburban expansion encroached on these traditional Kentucky settlements.
