1952 Map of Wilmore

About this map

Wilmore serves as a prominent focal point on this mid-century survey, situated within a landscape dominated by the dramatic meanders of the Kentucky River. The map illustrates a period of established settlement where the community of Shakertown stands as a distinct landmark west of the river's deep bends. The topography is defined by the sharp vertical relief along the riverbanks, contrasted by the relatively level uplands where most habitation and infrastructure are concentrated. The detailed rendering of property footprints and local roads near the town center provides an important perspective on the layout of this Jessamine County region before decades of modern expansion. The surveyor's notes on bench marks and elevation data emphasize the technical precision required to map this complex riverine terrain.
