2022 Map of Ford

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, sinuous path through the landscape where the borders of Fayette, Clark, and Madison counties meet. This bend of the river is anchored by Boonesborough, a site of profound significance in the early settlement of the Bluegrass region. Across the water, the small community of Ford sits at a sharp oxbow, while the surrounding upland plateau is dotted with long-established hamlets like Athens and Locust Grove. The map reveals a complex network of ridge-top roads, such as Athens Boonesboro Rd and Combs Ferry Rd, which connect these dispersed settlements.
