2013 Map of Blocher

About this map

Lexington and the surrounding rural Scott County landscape are defined by a network of small settlements and a complex system of local waterways. This 2013 survey records established communities like Blocher, New Frankfort, Wooster, and Albion, each linked by a grid of farm-to-market roads and county lanes. The area's hydraulic character is visible in the numerous small reservoirs and drainage systems, including the Presbyterian National Missions Lake and Thomas J Miller Lake. These water bodies, alongside Stucker Fork and Kimberlin Cr, illustrate how modern land management and agriculture have integrated with the natural drainage basins. In the western portion of the map, the community of Hopewell sits near Hopewell Drain, showing the historical persistence of local place-names even as the landscape transitions through the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, from property-line roads like N Bethlehem Rd to the winding course of White Eye Br.
