About this map

Howe Valley and the surrounding karst landscape of Hardin County define this 1990s survey, characterized by numerous springs and sinkhole ponds. The rural terrain is marked by significant topographical features like The Hogback and Buzzard Cliff, while the water system centers on the Rough River and its tributaries, including Funks Run. The map provides a detailed look at late 20th-century rural infrastructure, showing a network of country lanes such as Meredith Road and Stiles Road connecting small crossroads settlements.

Genealogists will find several burial sites and houses of worship, including Miller Cem and Sutzer Creek Ch. The geography is notable for its numerous named springs, such as Stiles Spring and Roaring Spring, which reflect the subsurface drainage typical of this Kentucky region. Evidence of local industry and utilities appears through a Mine near Blueball Hill and a Filtration Plant located near the area's many lakes.
