About this map

Harrods Creek and its southern fork wind through a landscape defined by the suburban expansion of eastern Jefferson Co and neighboring Oldham County. This recent 2019 survey documents a dense network of residential communities, including Prospect, Crestwood, and Pewee Valley, that have transformed the former agricultural lands of north-central Kentucky. The terrain is marked by the distinct drainage of Little Goose Creek and Chenoweth Run, which have influenced the layout of historical roads like Old Brownsboro Place and Ballardsville road.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Harrods Creek Cemetery and Ballardsville Church, which remain integrated into the modern suburban fabric. The map illustrates the concentration of community names like Orchard Grass Hills, Barbourmeade, and Ten Broeck, reflecting a century of growth from isolated settlements into a contiguous residential corridor. The CSX Transportation rail line and major arteries like I-71 and I-265 provide the primary transit framework for this populous region north of Louisville.
