About this map

The rolling landscape of northern Kentucky is shown here at the intersection of Boone, Gallatin, and Grant counties during the early 1980s. The village of Verona sits at the center of a network of rural routes and the Louisville and Nashville railroad line, while the modern corridor of Interstate 75 cuts diagonally across the quadrangle. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several smaller community centers and stations such as Ryle, Zion Station, and Munk.

Water features dominate the eastern half of the map, specifically the sprawling reaches of Bullock Pen Lake and the meandering Tenmile Creek. Notable local landmarks include the Northern Kentucky Speedway in the north and various centers of early community life like St Patricks Cem, Salem Ch, and the Chapman Sch. The survey also documents family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Carr Cem and Lebanon Ch Cem, preserving a record of the area's rural social geography before further suburban expansion.
