1998 Map of Shepherdsville

About this map

Shepherdsville sits at the northern edge of this survey, where the Salt River meets Floyds Fork. The landscape south of the river is a study in mid-century transportation and conservation, dominated by the north-south corridor of the L & N RR and the sprawling acreage of the Bernheim Forest Arboretum. Local life is anchored by small communities such as Bardstown Junction and Clermont, with numerous rural institutions like Bowmans Valley Ch and the Roby Sch dotting the countryside. The topography is defined by prominent knobs and deep hollows, including Indian Knob and Guerilla Hollow, which provide a sharp contrast to the developed river valley. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, from Hall Cem to the Beech Grove Cem near the winding course of Long Lick Run.
