1953 Map of Stamping Ground

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Stamping Ground serves as the primary hub of this Central Kentucky landscape, situated where the Frankfort and Cincinnati railroad tracks trace the southern lowlands. The 1953 survey captures a rural environment defined by winding watercourses like Lecomptes Run and McConnell Run, which drain the varied topography of Cotton Ridge. The settlement pattern is deeply connected to family and community legacy, evidenced by numerous burial grounds such as Masonic Cem, Bond Cem, and Lindsay Cem. Smaller crossroads and hamlets like Minorsville, Suterville, and Skinnersburg anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle near the Owen Co line. This era shows the region's established religious and social infrastructure through landmarks like Caesarea Ch and Corinth Ch, providing a detailed look at the rural Scott County road network before significant late-century modernization.
