About this map

Versailles serves as a central hub in this survey of Woodford County, where the transition from town streets to Bluegrass horse country is clearly defined. The landscape is marked by historical settlements like Hunter Town, Shetland, and Firmantown, alongside smaller clusters at Nugent Crossroads and Wallace. The agricultural and social character of the region is evident in the numerous religious and burial sites, including Zion Hill Ch and the Mount Vernon Church Cem.

Waterways like South Elkhorn Creek and its tributaries, including Shannon Run and Steeles Run, carve through the rolling terrain, occasionally crossed by structures like the Paynes Mill Bridge. Significant institutions such as the Kentucky Community and Technical Coll System are situated near the city, while outlying areas like Pisgah and Gaybourn maintain a more rural character. The map also records the location of natural features like Big Sink and Sugar Hill, providing a detailed view of the area's physical geography.
