About this map

Eminence serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Bluegrass region, where established road networks and natural drainage systems define the landscape. The layout of the area is heavily influenced by its watercourses, including the Little Kentucky River and East Fork Floyds Fork in the north, while Clear Creek and Fox Run meander through the central and southern reaches. These streams historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural boundaries, a pattern still visible in the modern topography.

Researchers will find a network of named roads reflecting local lineage and history, such as Narrow Gage Pike, Stoney Point Rd, and Adams Pike. The presence of Shelby Airport and smaller communities like Bellview and Mulberry highlights the transition from concentrated village life to more distributed rural residential and aviation use. This survey captures a specific moment in the growth of Henry and Shelby counties, documenting how local landmarks like New Pond and Burks Branch persist amid the evolving rural infrastructure.
