1952 Map of Wilmore

About this map

Wilmore and Shakertown anchor this Central Kentucky landscape, where the dramatic meanders of the Kentucky River carve through the limestone. The topography is defined by sharp bends in the river, including Bowmans Bend, Handys Bend, and Pollys Bend. This area shows a significant intersection of transport and recreation, with the Southern railroad crossing at High Bridge and a cluster of fishing and vacation camps such as Hagers Camp, Bradshaws Camp, and Kingfish Camp gathered along the shores of Herrington Lake.
