About this map

Ballardsville and its surrounding rural corridors sit at the convergence of three Kentucky counties—Oldham, Shelby, and Henry—creating a landscape defined by its deeply incised stream valleys and ridge-top settlements. This 2016 survey records a transitional terrain where legacy agricultural land meets modern residential expansion, evidenced by the network of newer drives and circles branching off established routes like Dover Rd and Ballard Glen Pkwy.

Genealogists will find critical reference points in long-standing sites such as Fairview Cem near Todds Point, Hebron Cem, and Antioch Cem to the south. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Floyds Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Lick Fork and Fibles Run, carving through the central hills. Cultural landmarks like the Jeffries Farm Airport and the high ground at Gathright Hill provide further orientation for those studying the evolving geography of the Bluegrass region.
