About this map

The city of Carlisle serves as the focal point of this 2013 Nicholas County study, situated at the confluence of several regional roads and the Brushy Fork waterway. This modern topographic view illustrates the transition between the urban street grid of the city and the surrounding agricultural uplands. Notable family and historical landmarks include Mt Carmel Cem and Henryville Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Elevations vary across the landscape, reaching prominent points such as Gallows Hill and Hickory Ridge. To the north, the North Central District 4-H Camp is situated near Lake Cannigo, highlighting the area's recreational geography. The drainage pattern is defined by a network of runs and creeks, including McBrides Run, Hinkston Cr, and Wilbur Run, reflecting the complex watershed that has influenced settlement patterns from the small community at Headquarters down to the local farmsteads connected by routes like Youngs Mill Rd and Buffalo Trace Rd.
