About this map

Krypton and Napfor sit within a landscape defined by the winding North Fork of the Kentucky River, where the local infrastructure follows the deep bends and narrow valleys of Perry County. The region's transport history is marked by several engineering landmarks, including the Campbell Tunnel, Yerkes Tunnel, and the Typo Tunnel, which facilitate passage through the high ridges. These tunnels, along with the Chavies Bridge, illustrate the difficulty of movement before modern road improvements like the Coalfields Industrial Dr were established.

A portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest occupies the southwest, while the surrounding area is dotted with small settlements such as Yerkes, Busy, and Butterfly. The names of the landscape, like Fishtrap Shoals and Stidham Bend, suggest a deep connection to the river's resources and traditional crossings. From the Duff Airport to the various branch roads, the map documents a community where geography dictated the patterns of settlement and industry.
