2019 Map of Keene

About this map

Keene and Dixon Town anchor this survey of the Bluegrass region south of the Fayette County and Jessamine County line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of historic pikes and rural cemeteries that trace the settlement patterns of early Kentucky families. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds, including the Frost, Salliee, and Ebenezer cemeteries, often located near winding watercourses like Cave Spring Creek and Clear Creek. The settlement at Troy sits at the junction of several historic routes, including Troy Pike and Fords Mill Road, reflecting the area's agricultural and milling heritage. To the south, the expansion of Wilmore and Nicholasville begins to touch the edges of this rolling farm country, while the northern sections near Pinckard remain centered on large estates and thoroughbred culture along Delaney Ferry Road.
