About this map

Fairfield anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Spencer Co Nelson Co boundary line cuts through the rolling topography of north-central Kentucky. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Salt River and its varied tributaries like Simpson Creek, Kimbley Run, and E Fork Cox Cr. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and road networks, such as Louisville Rd, which connects the communities of Highgrove and Coxs Creek.

For those tracing local ancestry or community origins, the map identifies specific points of interest like Saint Michaels Cem and Montgomery Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and rural routes, such as J H Lyddane Rd and Mobley Mill Rd, reflecting a deeply established agricultural and residential pattern. This survey captures the region's character just as modern infrastructure began to blend with these older, waterway-dependent settlement patterns.
