About this map

Bardstown and its western rural reaches define this survey of the Nelson and Bullitt County border. The landscape is characterized by the winding path of the Beech Fork, where several named ridges and knobs—such as Indian Grave Ridge, Crutchers Knob, and Allens Knob—rise above the valley floors. Smaller communities like Cravens, Bellwood, and Hunters are distributed along the road networks, including the high-speed Bluegrass Parkway that cuts through the southern portion of the area.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate the Sutherland Cem near the river or trace early property patterns around Germantown Hill. The presence of Samuels Field and modern infrastructure like the Water Plant Ln indicate the continued development of this region just west of the historic center of Bardstown, while names like Spooky Hollow and Rattlesnake Run reflect the enduring local nomenclature of the Kentucky countryside.
