About this map

Lebanon Junction serves as the focal point of this 2013 landscape, where the Rolling Fork and Beech Fork rivers converge in a network of floodplains and lowlands. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of Railroad Ave and the modern interstate, while older hamlets like Boston and Scuffletown remain tucked into the river bends and hollows. Local genealogy and history are preserved in sites such as Mt. Moriah Cem and Little Brick Cem, which overlook the surrounding hills.

Water plays a defining role in the area's geography, from the meandering Wilson Cr and Cain Run to man-made features like Paradise Lake and Hurricane Hills Lake. To the north, Mill Hollow and Picnic Hollow break up the terrain, suggesting the historical land use and small-scale industry common to this part of Kentucky. The southern reaches are defined by the wide curves of Rolling Fork Slu near Younger Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Salt River watershed.
