1962 Map of Shepherdsville

About this map

Shepherdsville serves as a central hub on this Bullitt County landscape, situated along the banks of the Salt River just as the mid-century transportation network was evolving. The coexistence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Kentucky Turnpike illustrates a transition in regional commerce and travel, while the extensive acreage of the Bernheim Forest preserves a significant portion of the knobs region to the southeast. Family history is well-represented through numerous burial sites such as Hall Cem, Shelton Cem, and Cundiff Cem, alongside local landmarks like Roby Sch and Vine Hill Ch. The southern portion of the sheet reaches the edge of the Fort Knox Military Reservation, while smaller settlements like Clermont, Belmont, and Bardstown Junction follow the rail corridor, marking the established path of 19th and early 20th-century growth.
