Pictured is an Elizabethtown map dated about 1871, before the arrival of General George Custer. General Custer resided at the Hills Hotel at the corner of North Main and Poplar Street. The Hills Hotel (today the Brown-Pusey House) and the school building on Poplar Street are the only surviving buildings from this map. Notice that the courthouse was moved to the center of the map. Cross Street was the main thoroughfare. Today, Cross Street is 31 West, or Dixie Hwy, also called the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad is located on the other side of the bridge and Valley Creek. In 1869, 1870s, and 1880s, devastating fires destroyed most of the buildings on the public square and some of the surrounding area.
