2013 Map of Versailles

About this map

The Kentucky Bluegrass region unfolds in this early 21st-century record, centered on the historic town of Versailles and its surrounding agricultural landscape. The map illustrates a transition between the established street grids of the county seat and the expanding residential footprints of Woodford Village, Shetland, and Gaybourn. Beyond the urban core, the rural character of the area is preserved in the form of sprawling estates like Three Chimneys Farm and small historic clusters such as Pisgah and Nugent Crossroads. For the local historian, the map meticulously documents several burial grounds including Zion Hill Cem and Mt Vernon Church Cem. The natural drainage of the territory is defined by S Elkhorn Cr and the subterranean features of the Big Sink, while infrastructure like the Paynes Mill Bridge and the Bluegrass Pkwy W provide vital connections across the undulating terrain.
