2022 Map of Cravens

About this map

The winding course of Beech Fork and its tributary Cedar Cr anchor the southern landscape of this Nelson County territory. To the north, the terrain transitions into more pronounced ridges and valleys, including Indian Grave Ridge and the darkly named Spooky Hollow. This modern survey illustrates the edge of Bardstown, where the street grid begins to break into the rural hills and hollows that have defined the region's geography for generations. Local history is traced through small clusters such as Cravens and Bellwood, while aviation history is marked by Samuels Field near the eastern boundary. The presence of family-named peaks like Allens Knob and Crutchers Knob reflects a legacy of local land ownership, while the Sutherland Cem near the fork serves as a point of interest for genealogical research.
