About this map

The city of Independence serves as a central hub in this Kenton County landscape, situated at the confluence of several local thoroughfares including Independence Rd and Madison Pike. The area is defined by its numerous small settlements and family-oriented landmarks, such as Ricedale, Bank Lick, and Nicholson. A significant number of burial sites are documented across the terrain, from larger facilities like Floral Hills Memorial Gardens to smaller, localized plots such as Rector Cemetery and Hoffman Cemetery.

Waterways like Banklick Creek and Fowler Creek carve through the geography, shaping the placement of neighborhoods like Ridgeview Heights and Oak Ridge. To the north, Dam Number 3 on Bullock Pen Creek represents one of the few pieces of significant water infrastructure in the quadrangle. The map captures a mix of established residential growth and agricultural space, with recreational areas such as the Kenton County Golf Course integrated into the suburban fabric between Florence and Devon.
