About this map

Bedford serves as the focal point of this Trimble County landscape, where the town's grid of Main St and West St meets the branching ridge roads that define the region's topography. The area is characterized by a deeply etched drainage pattern, with the Little Kentucky River and its numerous tributaries like Barebone Cr and Daugherty Creek carving through the limestone terrain. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the county, showing how historic farm-to-market routes like Sulfur-Bedford Rd and Bray Ridge Rd still follow the natural contours of the land.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the hills, including Staten-Garriott Cem and Foree Cem Number 2. Notable elevations such as Fishers Ridge and Bunker Hill rise above the river valleys, while local landmarks like Lake Sherwood and the Po in town indicate the center of community life. The map also clearly delineates the administrative borders between Trimble, Henry, and Oldham counties.
