2022 Map of Flaherty

About this map

The rolling landscape of north-central Kentucky is defined here by the winding Otter Creek and its many tributaries, including Flippin Cr and Brushy Fork. The border between Meade and Hardin counties cuts across the center of the sheet, where rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and long-established houses of worship. The terrain is marked by distinct rises like Bee Knob Hill and Fullove Hill, which separate the various drainage basins. A high density of cemeteries, such as Saint Martin Cem near Flaherty and Tarpley Cem further south, provides a valuable footprint for genealogical research. The road network, including the Rineyville Big Springs Rd, links these quiet residential pockets with larger local hubs like Vine Grove, reflecting a region where traditional land use and modern settlement patterns coexist along the ridges and hollows.
