About this map

Floyds Fork meanders through this landscape on the border of Jefferson, Shelby, and Spencer Counties, anchoring a region of transition between small-town settlement and rural topography. The community of Fisherville sits at a prominent bend in the waterway, where Old Taylorsville Road once served as a primary artery for local travel. To the north, the corridor following the CSX and Southern railroads links Eastwood, Boston, and Lincoln Ridge, reflecting the transport-oriented growth of these upland areas.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural institutions, such as St Aloysius Ch and Poplar Level Ch, alongside several marked cemeteries. The map also documents institutional and industrial presence, including the Job Corps Center at Lincoln Ridge and infrastructure like the Pumping Sta and Radio Tower. The inclusion of Floyds Fork Park and several creek runs, such as Long Run and Shackels Run, illustrates the enduring drainage patterns that shaped the early farmsteads of Wilsonville, Routt, and Clark.
