The Salt River and its numerous tributaries, including Simpson Cr and Bowman Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Nelson County landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates the rural character of central Kentucky, centered on the historic crossroads of Fairfield and the neighboring settlements of Highgrove and Coxs Creek. The map provides specific locations for local heritage sites like Saint Michaels Cem and Montgomery Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this region. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses such as E Fork Cox Cr, Kimbly Run, and Plum Run, while the road system reflects long-standing property lines and local family names, including Murrays Run Rd and Will Scott Snyder Rd. This map is a precise record of the contemporary rural infrastructure and natural drainage before further modern development.
