1960 Map of Simpsonville

About this map

Simpsonville and Finchville anchor this Shelby County landscape, which shows a transition from traditional rail-line commerce to modern highway infrastructure by the late 1970s. The northern corridor is defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad, passing through Scotts Station, while the Southern line cuts across the center through Veechdale. Local history is preserved in the location of the Buck Creek Sch and Shiloh Ch, alongside numerous family-named rural routes like Blaydes Lane and Parent Lane. The area's hydrology is dominated by the winding path of Bullskin Creek and Brashears Creek, the latter featuring Picketts Dam. Notable institutions such as Lincoln Ridge are mapped alongside small rural settlements like Montclair and Joyes, providing a detailed look at the post-war development of this central Kentucky region before more recent suburban growth altered these agricultural patterns.
