About this map

Beech Fork meanders through the southern portion of this Kentucky landscape, defining a terrain of winding creeks and ridges in Nelson and Bullitt counties. The early 1990s character of the area is one of small crossroads settlements and aviation infrastructure, with Cravens and Bellwood serving as local hubs. Samuels Field and its accompanying Landing Strip indicate the importance of regional flight, while the Blue Grass Parkway cuts through the southern hills, marking a modern transport corridor across the older rural grid.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Nelson Ch and the nearby Nelson Cem, alongside the Sutherland Cem near the fork. The presence of Indian Grave Ridge and numerous named hollows like Spooky Hollow and Wolf Pen Hollow reflect a deeply rooted local nomenclature. Utility infrastructure, including the Picketts Pipeline, also traverses the ridges north of Harrison Fork.
