About this map

Brooks and the surrounding Bullitt County landscape are defined by the distinctive knobs and gaps that rise above the Floyds Fork and Salt River floodplains. The terrain transitions from the residential developments of Hebron Estates and Hillview into the varied topography of Buttonmold Knob and Wagonbed Knob. This modern survey illustrates how infrastructure like I-65 and KY 61 has facilitated the growth of communities such as Pioneer Village and Hunters Hollow, while older family landmarks remain in the landscape.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family burial sites tucked away from the major thoroughfares, including the Terry Cem, Phelps Cem, and Stallings Cem. The map also preserves the location of Blue Lick Airport and the geological prominence of the Blue Lick Gap. From the heights of Holsclaw Hill to the banks of Brooks Run, the map documents a region where suburban expansion meets the geological boundary of the Knobs.
