About this map

Buffalo Trace Distillery and Old Crow Distillery anchor the industrial heritage of this landscape, reflecting a long history of bourbon production along the Kentucky River and its tributaries. The terrain is defined by dramatic water features, including the winding course of the river at Saffells Bend and the convergence of waterways at Forks of Elkhorn. Distinctive geographical landmarks like The Backbone and Trumbo Bottom contrast with the expanding residential clusters of Indian Hills and Bon Air Hills.

Genealogists will find significant local history preserved at the Frankfort Cem and Greenhill Cem, while the southern reaches show the rural character of Millville near the Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary. The map also captures modern infrastructure developments like the complex intersection at Spaghetti Junction, illustrating the area's growth from historic river settlements into a modern regional hub.
