1967 Map of Tyrone

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through the limestone heart of Bluegrass country, defining the border between Woodford and Anderson counties. Along its banks, industrial and community development is centered near the historic river crossing at Tyrone, where the Southern railroad bridge spans the gorge. This 1967 snapshot captures the essential infrastructure of the era, from the Filtration Plant and Powerplant near the river to the upland expansion of Versailles. Rural life is anchored by family and community landmarks such as Glenns Creek Ch and Pinckard Ch, while the dramatic topography is highlighted by the overlook at Lovers Leap. The transition from river-level industry to the rolling plateaus is evidenced by scattered settlements like Milner and Clifton, showing how the local landscape dictated both transport routes and settlement patterns before modern suburban growth transformed the region.
