About this map

The Fort Knox Military Reservation dominates this landscape along the border of Bullitt and Hardin counties, defined by the winding course of the Rolling Fork. This area preserves a high density of early family and community burial sites, including Sycamore Cem, Cedar Creek Cem, Bowling Cem, and Hagan Cem, many of which sit within the military boundary. These sites, along with the Patterson Chapel and Sycamore Ch, provide a genealogical record of the rural communities that predated the military's expansion.

Transportation patterns are shaped by the terrain, with Wooldridge Ferry Road and the Wooldridge Ferry Bridge crossing the river near the northern edge. The settlement of Colesburg sits at a junction of valley routes, surrounded by distinctive landmarks like Potlick Point and the high elevations of Bolton Knob and Stark Knob. The map traces numerous watercourses, from Cedar Creek to Clear Creek, which carved the deep hollows such as Brewer Hollow and Maple Hollow that characterize this part of Kentucky.
