About this map

The Jefferson Co Bullitt Co boundary line runs through this landscape, marking the transition between the urban reach of Louisville and the more varied topography to the south. Distinctive terrain features like Buttonmold Knob and Wagonbed Knob rise above the suburban expansion of Hillview and Pioneer Village, while the Salt River and its tributary Floyds Fork define the southern drainage. Industrial activity is visible through several quarries and the brickkilns near Coral Ridge.

Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including Ball Cem, Quick Cem, and Ferguson Cem. The map also documents institutional growth with facilities like North Bullitt High Sch and Knight Middle Sch. Transport patterns are anchored by the CSX Transportation line and major arteries such as Preston Highway, illustrating the region's role as a vital corridor between the county seat at Shepherdsville and the growing northern suburbs.
