2013 Map of Big Spring

About this map

Big Spring and Bewleyville anchor this agricultural landscape in Breckinridge County, defined by a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The terrain is notably marked by numerous sinkholes and depressions characteristic of karst topography, particularly around the settlements of Corners and High Plains. Several roads, such as Guston-Bewleyville Rd and Irvington-Bewleyville Rd, serve as primary connectors between these rural communities, while family names like Nannie Ammons Rd and Herbert Carman Rd reflect the deep-rooted local heritage of the area. To the south, the landscape is bisected by the Blue Fork waterway, which meanders through the hills near High Plains Corner. The map's layout of small-scale roads and intersections, including Maples Corner, illustrates the persistent rural character of this Kentucky region into the early 21st century.
