2013 Map of Bighill

About this map

Bighill stands at the crossroads of Kentucky's high knobs and valley creeks, serving as a focal point for this landscape of high ridges and hollows. The area is defined by its complex topography, where heights like Indian Fort Mountain and Big Mountain overlook drainage systems including Red Lick Cr and Owsley Fork. Cultural and recreational landmarks are prominent, notably the Indian Fort Theatre situated near the western peaks. Water resources are a defining characteristic of the region, anchored by the Owsley Fork Reservoir and Berea City Lakes. Smaller settlements such as Bobtown, Dreyfus, and Morrill are connected by a network of rural routes like Pilot Knob Cemetery Rd, which links family-named landmarks and local history. The presence of specialized sites like the Red Lick Sulphur Spring hints at the mineral-rich waters that have long been a feature of the Central Kentucky knobs.
