About this map

Hillview and Brooks anchor this suburban corridor south of Louisville, where residential growth intermingles with several family-named knobs and cemeteries. The landscape is defined by its drainage into Floyds Fork and the Salt River, with numerous small watercourses like Pennsylvania Run and Brooks Run carving through the terrain. Evidence of the area's older rural character remains in the numerous small burial grounds, including McCawley Cem, Terry Cem, and Phelps Cem, often located near prominent high points like Wagonbed Knob or MacDonald Knob.

Transportation infrastructure like Old Preston HWY and Old HWY 61 trace the historical routes through Pioneer Village and Hebron Estates. The presence of the Blue Lick Airport and the Holscan Lookout Tower on Holclaw Hill highlights the mix of modern utility and traditional land use. Smaller communities such as Hunters Hollow, Fox Chase, and South Park View illustrate the dense network of incorporated cities that characterized the expansion of Jefferson and Bullitt Counties in the early twenty-first century.
