2013 Map of Shepherdsville

About this map

The Salt River carves through the heart of Bullitt County, anchoring the regional hub of Shepherdsville where the CSX Transportation railroad and Interstate 65 converge. This modern survey illustrates the development of the area south of the river, where the rail line passes through historical railway points like Bardstown Junction and Clermont. The landscape is a mix of lowland river plains and prominent knobs, including Indian Knob and Britts Knob, which overlook the surrounding hollows. Numerous family cemeteries are preserved across the terrain, such as Maraman Cem, Smith Cem, and Hall Cem, providing essential markers for genealogical research. The map also documents the presence of Shady Acres Airport and the complex drainage of the Buffalo Run and Lickskillet Cr watersheds, which have shaped the local agricultural and settlement patterns for generations.
