Woodford County sits in central Kentucky, with Versailles as the main town and road center, Midway in the northeast, and a deeply incised river edge along the western side. This Woodford County Kentucky Map collection shows Versailles, Midway, I-64, US 60, US 62, US 421, KY 33, KY 169, named creek valleys, and terrain ranging from about 145 to 304 meters.
After reviewing the web previews, readers can download a ZIP containing the original high-resolution JPG files. Woodford County’s official site describes a county centered on agriculture and the equine industry, while the maps add the physical setting: broad rolling uplands around Versailles and Midway give way to steep lower valleys toward the Kentucky River side.

Versailles gathers the road network while Midway sits near I-64 and US 421
Versailles is the easiest place to begin reading the general county map. US 60 passes through the town and provides a strong east–west reference, while KY 33 extends south and KY 169 continues toward the southeastern part of the county. The concentration of local roads around Versailles makes it the clearest center for understanding the interior road network.
Midway lies northeast of Versailles near US 421 and US 62. I-64 crosses the northern part of the county, linking the area toward Frankfort and Lexington. Midway University and the Sodom Historic label also help locate the northern section, where the road pattern is more open than the tightly curved routes near the western river valleys.
The county’s western edge is highly irregular rather than straight, following the deep river-valley landscape. Frankfort and Lawrenceburg appear outside the boundary as useful regional references, while Mundys Landing is labeled near the southern tip. Roads on this side often curve with the terrain, contrasting with the more direct connections around Versailles and Midway.
The map is intended for geographic orientation, not live navigation. It does not show current traffic, construction, speed limits, or private access conditions. Use a current road service for driving decisions and use this file to understand how the two towns, the main highways, and the county outline fit together.
Versailles and Midway provide a simple two-city view of the county
The city-distribution map removes most route labels and highlights only Versailles and Midway. Versailles sits a little north of the county’s center, while Midway is much closer to the northeastern boundary. The wide rural area between and around them shows why the county reads as a central town with a smaller northeastern city rather than one continuous urban area.
Franklin County is labeled to the north, Fayette County to the east, and Scott County to the northeast. Jessamine County lies southeast, with Mercer and Anderson Counties toward the west and southwest. These surrounding names place Woodford County between the Frankfort and Lexington areas and make the county’s central-Kentucky setting easy to understand.
The population figures printed in the city index belong to the source snapshot used to create the map and should not be treated as current official totals. Anyone needing recent demographic figures should use the U.S. Census Bureau. The main value of this file is the spatial relationship between Versailles, Midway, and the neighboring counties.
Glenns Creek and Clear Creek drain toward the deep western river valleys
Glenns Creek is one of the strongest named streams in the northwestern interior. Hickman Branch and Bonds Run appear nearby, while Camden Creek runs through the central-western side. These waterways occupy lower corridors between rolling uplands and help explain the irregular western county edge.
Lee Branch is prominent in the northeastern half, while Buck Run appears farther west. South of the Versailles area, Grier Creek and Craig Creek form additional low valleys. Tanners Creek becomes a major reference farther south, where it bends through a deeply cut corridor before joining the broader river-valley landscape.
Clear Creek and East Fork Clear Creek dominate the southern drainage, with Brushy Run labeled near the southern edge. The water network is not a single straight system; short tributaries repeatedly divide the rolling uplands. Comparing this file with the elevation map shows that many of the blue channels line up with green lowlands between higher ridges.
This file is a geographic water reference rather than a flood-insurance map, navigation chart, depth map, legal shoreline record, or parcel survey. Flood risk, water levels, access, and property-boundary questions require current specialized agency data.
Elevation from 145 to 304 meters drops sharply toward the western river edge
The elevation legend reports an actual county range of about 145 to 304 meters, with a mean near 254 meters. Green marks lower ground, while yellow, orange, and brown represent progressively higher uplands. The deepest low areas follow the irregular western side, where the Kentucky River valley and tributary mouths cut well below the interior.
Moving east from that river edge, the land rises quickly. Much of the central and eastern county is colored orange or brown, indicating broad higher rolling ground. Narrow green stream corridors cut through those uplands along Glenns Creek, Camden Creek, Lee Branch, and other drainage lines.
The south contains a more intricate mix of ridges and valleys around Tanners Creek, Clear Creek, and East Fork Clear Creek. Versailles and Midway lie on generally higher interior ground than the deepest western valleys, although smaller creek corridors still create local low areas around them. The result is a county with moderate overall relief but a very strong contrast between uplands and the western river side.
The 145–304 meter range is useful for county-scale terrain comparison, not survey or engineering work. Building elevations, bridge grades, drainage calculations, and parcel-level measurements require higher-resolution USGS 3D Elevation Program data and, when necessary, professional field surveying.
Three directions from Versailles reveal the county’s main contrasts
Northeast from Versailles toward Midway, the road map emphasizes US 60 connections, US 421, US 62, and I-64. The elevation surface is relatively broad and high compared with the western edge, and the city map keeps the relationship between the two towns easy to follow. This is the clearest part of the county for comparing settlement and major transportation routes.
West from Versailles, the landscape changes quickly. Glenns Creek, Camden Creek, Grier Creek, and other tributaries descend toward the Kentucky River side, and the elevation colors shift from orange-brown uplands to green low valleys. The road network becomes more winding as it approaches those steeply cut corridors.
South along KY 33 and KY 169, Tanners Creek, Clear Creek, and East Fork Clear Creek provide useful water references. The terrain remains rolling but is increasingly broken by narrow valleys. Comparing these three directions from Versailles gives a much clearer picture of Woodford County than looking at road names or elevation colors alone.
Choose the Woodford County file that matches the detail you need
The general county map is the best starting point for Versailles, Midway, highways, and the county outline. The city map is cleaner when the two major city references are all that matter. The terrain-and-water file is strongest for Glenns Creek, Clear Creek, and the tributary network, while the elevation map makes the 145–304 meter contrast between river valleys and uplands easiest to see.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which map is best for Versailles, Midway, and the main highways?
The general county map is the best choice because it combines Versailles and Midway with I-64, US 60, US 62, US 421, KY 33, KY 169, and the county boundary in one view.
Where can I see Glenns Creek and Clear Creek most clearly?
The terrain-and-water map shows Glenns Creek, Camden Creek, Grier Creek, Tanners Creek, Clear Creek, East Fork Clear Creek, Lee Branch, and many smaller tributaries. It is a geographic reference rather than a flood, depth, navigation, or legal-boundary map.
What stands out most on the 145–304 meter elevation map?
The western Kentucky River side contains the lowest and most deeply cut valleys, while much of the central and eastern county sits on higher rolling ground. The county mean is about 254 meters, but the file is intended for regional comparison rather than construction or survey measurements.
