About this map

Georgetown and the surrounding Scott County landscape are defined by the convergence of historic transportation corridors and the winding paths of the Kentucky Bluegrass waterways. The modern path of the Cincinnati Rd and Interstate 75 bisect the region, passing through or near established locales such as Delaplain, Rogers Gap, and Sadieville. These routes follow the older grain of the land, where settlements like Turkey Foot and Muddy Ford grew alongside the branching waters of Eagle Creek and its many tributaries, including W Fork Eagle Cr and Lytles Fork.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of the Burgess Cem and smaller communities such as Cranetown, Biddle, and Oxford. The map captures a detailed view of the rural-to-suburban transition north of the county seat, where agricultural tracts meet residential developments like Mallard Point Dr. From the northern reaches of Double Culvert to the southern drainages of McCracken Cr, the survey documents the precise road networks and water gaps that have shaped this portion of Kentucky for generations.
