About this map

Tonieville and the winding course of the Nolin River define this rural Kentucky landscape at the border of Hardin and Larue counties. This edition reflects mid-century settlement patterns as documented in 1960, featuring several small community hubs such as Eagle Mills and Mathers Mill. The transportation network is notably varied, showing both the modern Interchange 86 and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier transit corridors.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous country churches and burial grounds dotting the hills, including St Anthonys Ch, Siberia Ch, and the Williams Cem. The map traces several watercourses that shaped local life, from the larger river to smaller tributaries like Barren Run and Middle Fork Creek. These features, alongside landmarks like Glendale Junction, provide a clear picture of the region's agricultural and social structure before late-20th-century developments.
