This Lexington, Kentucky [gmap] birdseye is an awfully high-angle one for a Ruger illustration (and kind of breaks down near the horizon because of it), but its a nice one, all the same.
Wild guess, and correct me, please, but do the many circle drives (walks?) on this image have anything to do with horse runs? (An aside: I bet many people in Lexington are sick to death of outsiders asking them about horses all the time).
