1954 Map of Shawhan

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Shawhan serves as a central point in this mid-century survey of the Bluegrass region, where the Harrison Co Bourbon Co line divides a landscape defined by rolling agricultural land and winding waterways. The South Fork Licking River carves deep loops across the northern half of the map, passing the County Infirmary and the settlement of Lair. The rural infrastructure of the 1950s is highly visible, from the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to small community anchors like Mt Pleasant Ch and Mt Carmel Ch. Local history researchers will find a dense network of country roads including Russell Cave Road and Batterton Road, which connect older hamlets like Jacksonville and Broadwell. The convergence of Townsend Creek and Stoner Creek in the south highlights the importance of drainage and topography in shaping the area's development.
