1976 Map of Tyrone

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, sinuous path through the limestone of central Kentucky, defining the boundary between Anderson and Woodford Counties. Near the center of this 1970s landscape, the village of Tyrone sits at a strategic bend where the Southern railroad crosses the water, supported by industrial infrastructure including a powerplant and nearby quarry. The river is managed by Lock No 5, illustrating the importance of waterway navigation to the local economy alongside the rail corridor. To the east, the terrain levels into the bluegrass uplands near Versailles, where the Woodford Hills Country Club and family-named routes like Mc Cowans Ferry Road appear. Rural life is anchored by small settlements and community hubs such as Glenns Creek Ch, Millville, and McKees Crossroads, which mark the intersection of historic land tracts and more modern developments like the Parkway.
