About this map

Hillview and surrounding Bullitt and Jefferson County suburbs are documented here during a period of significant residential expansion south of Louisville. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent knobs and hills, such as Buttonmold Knob, Wagonbed Knob, and MacDonald Knob, which rise above the drainage basins of Floyds Fork and the Salt River. These geological features shaped the development of communities like Heritage Creek, Pioneer Village, and Hebron Estates as they grew along the regional road network including the Gene Snyder Fwy.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous family-named burial grounds, including the McCauley Cemetery, Terry Cemetery, and Stallings Cemetery. Former infrastructure and recreational sites like the Blue Lick Airport, Camp Shantituck, and the Holscan Lookout Tower on Holsclaw Hill provide insight into the land use of the early 21st century before further suburban densification. The map captures the meeting of natural waterways like Mud Run and Cedar Creek with the encroaching residential footprints of towns like Hunters Hollow and Zoneton.
