About this map

The rolling hills of Oldham and Jefferson Counties meet at the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, which serves as the spine for local development. This landscape is defined by the winding course of Floyds Fork and its tributaries, such as Currys Fork and Ashers Run. Historically significant sites are concentrated near the rail line, including the established community of Pewee Valley and the Confederate Cem.

Further south, the map identifies the State Correctional Institute for Women and the quiet grounds of the Long Run Cem Historic Ruins. The distribution of small crossroads settlements like Floydsburg and Centerfield suggests a transition from suburban growth to rural farmland. Notable local landmarks such as St Aloysius Sch and the Long Run Ch indicate the longstanding community foundations that persisted as the region evolved through the late twentieth century.
