About this map

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park anchors the landscape of Larue County, preserving the site of the President's birth near the Boundary Oak. This 2019 survey documents the rural character of central Kentucky, where the N Fork Nolin River and S Fork Nolin River converge near the settlement of Buffalo. The region's history is traced through its cemeteries and congregations, including Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cem and Saint Joachim Cem in the eastern hills.

Local infrastructure connects the small hubs of Hodgenville and Leafdale via a network of named country roads such as Bardstown Rd and Leafdale Rd. Geologic and topographic detail reveals the intricate drainage of the McDougal Cr and Howard Hollow, alongside aviation landmarks like Lincoln Farm Airport. The map captures a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the sprawling agricultural tracts and natural springs like Terhune Spring.
