About this map

Pewee Valley and Crestwood serve as the primary hubs of activity in this 1969 revision, where the Louisville & Nashville railroad corridor dictates the placement of early settlements. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Floyds Fork and its various branches, creating a complex series of ridges and valleys across the junction of Oldham, Shelby, and Jefferson Counties.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous institutional sites, including the Pewee Valley Sanitarium, the State Prison, and the County Juvenile Dept (Boys Sch). Cultural markers are prevalent throughout the quadrangle, from the Confederate Cem and Pewee Valley Cem to country congregations like Long Run Ch and Mt Tabor Ch. The map also captures several private spaces such as the Kavanaugh Camp and unnamed Historic Ruins along the banks of Long Run.
