About this map

Floyds Fork meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining the topography of eastern Jefferson County at mid-century. The settlement of Fisherville sits at the confluence of several vital waterways, including Brush Run and the main fork, while the Southern railroad provides a critical east-west industrial link across the terrain. To the north, the Louisville and Nashville line serves the community of Eastwood, tracing a parallel path through the ridge country.

Institutional landmarks like the Lincoln Institute at Lincoln Ridge and Camp Dan Beard near the northern boundary illustrate the area's diverse land use beyond agriculture. Small rural centers like Wilsonville and Routt are connected by a network of winding roads and local drainages such as Cane Run and Shakes Run. The map also captures several tri-county boundaries, showing where Jefferson, Shelby, and Spencer counties meet amidst the rising elevations of Brunerstown Ridge.
