About this map

The Kentucky River winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, carving steep slopes at Buttimer Hill and Devils Hollow as it approaches the state capital's outskirts. This territory is defined by the drainage systems of N Benson Cr and S Benson Cr, which converge near the historic crossing of the Benson Bridge. Smaller settlements like Choateville, Kennebec, and Benson anchor the rural road network, while the southern reaches show more modern development patterns in Evergreen and Broadville Manor.

Local landmarks such as the Old Iron Bridge At Bridge Hole on Stony Cr and the Choatville Church Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots or architectural history. The presence of the Capital City Airport and the Franklin Sq Shopping Ctr indicates the transition from the rolling hills and creeks of the west to the commercial and transportation infrastructure serving the Frankfort region.
