2013 Map of Ballardsville

About this map

Ballardsville serves as a central hub in this Kentucky landscape, situated where several forks of the Floyds Fork waterway converge. The area's geography is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of small runs and creeks, including Lutz Run, Fibles Run, and Bullskin Creek, which carve through the terrain between prominent rises like Gathright Hill and Lincolnfellow Hill. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural-to-suburban transition, where long-established crossroads like Todds Point and Chestnut Grove meet modern residential developments along roads such as Grand Dell Drive and Ballard Woods Drive. Local genealogy and community history are preserved at several sites, most notably Fairview Cemetery, Hebron Cemetery, and Antioch Cemetery. The presence of the Jeffries Farm Airport and the Shelby County Baptist Camp further indicates the area's mixed land use during this period.
