2019 Map of Ballardsville

About this map

Ballardsville and the surrounding Bluegrass landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways that once shaped early Kentucky settlement. The terrain is marked by the confluence of Floyds Fork, Bullskin Creek, and S Fork Currys Fork, creating a series of ridges and valleys that directed the placement of historic farmsteads and rural crossroads. The map documents several small, established communities including Todds Point and Chestnut Grove, while also noting significant local landmarks like Jeffries Farm Airport and elevated points like Gathright Hill. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as Fairview Cem and Hebron Cem, which serve as permanent markers of the area's ancestral families within this largely agricultural and residential region near the La Grange border.
