About this map

Versailles anchors this central Kentucky landscape, surrounded by a complex network of residential clusters and agrarian corridors. The map reveals a transition from the structured urban layout of Woodford Village and Shetland to established rural settlements such as Nugent Crossroads, Firmantown, and Hunter Town. The topography is defined by the winding course of South Elkhorn Creek and its tributaries, including Lee Branch and Shannon Run, which frame the region's historic horse-country character.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant landmarks such as Zion Hill Cemetery near Zion Hill and Steele Cemetery on the western edge of town. The presence of smaller, distinct locales like Little Texas, Frogtown, and Gaybourn illustrates the dense naming tradition of the Bluegrass region. Public and private recreation is noted through features like Sportsman Club Lake, while the Blue Grass Pkwy provides the modern artery connecting these historic communities to the wider state.
