About this map

Elizabethtown serves as the focal point of this Hardin County landscape, where the convergence of major infrastructure and geography is clearly defined. The area is dominated by significant transport arteries, including the Kentucky Turnpike and Bluegrass Parkway, which intersect near several outlying settlements such as Tunnel Hill and Indian Hills. The region is marked by its numerous water features, from the large Freeman Lake in the northwest to the Valley Creek Reservoir and Buffalo Lake closer to the city center.

Genealogical interest is found in the distribution of family and local burial sites, such as Browns Cem near Crest and the McCullum Cem located near the Elizabethtown Community and Technical Coll. Further south, the map captures the transition into more rural terrain toward the Hardin Co LaRue Co line, passing Oz Airport and the waters of Sportsman Lake. This survey illustrates the modern expansion of a historic Kentucky crossroads into a major regional hub.
