About this map

Rolling Fork winds along the northern boundary of this Kentucky landscape, marking the border between Bullitt Co and Hardin Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Happy Hollow and Maple Hollow, which have shaped local settlement patterns for generations. Small community centers like Colesburg and Booth sit near the eastern edge, while the northeastern portion of Elizabethtown appears in the southwest corner.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites scattered across the hills, including Stader Cem, Patterson Chapel Cem, and Bowling Cem. Transportation history is evident in the transition from traditional crossings like Wooldridge Ferry Bridge to the modern Battle Training Rd corridor. The map preserves the names of numerous knobs and flats, such as Bolton Knob and Hays Flats, which provide specific geographic context for local land records and family histories.
