1897 map of Lancaster, KY by Beers and Lanagan

This late 19th century map of a Kentucky town depicts a rail line that ceased to operate in 1933 and many business that no longer exist. Maps such as this one and Sanborn insurance maps provide detailed information about business, streets, homes, and communities.
The Garrard County Historical Society in Lancaster, KY allowed me to digitally scan this map from their collection for use in my classroom.
