1965 Map of Shelbyville

About this map

Shelbyville serves as the focal point of this mid-century Kentucky survey, showing the town's expansion toward Middletown Heights and Snow Hill. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Clear Creek and the significant presence of Guist Creek Lake, which had recently established the Guist Creek Lake State Park on its eastern shores. This era captures the transition of the local economy and infrastructure, featuring the intersecting routes of the Louisville and Nashville and Southern railroads alongside the development of the Interstate 64 corridor.
