About this map

Leesburg serves as a central hub in this corner of the Bluegrass region, where the boundaries of Harrison, Scott, and Bourbon counties converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of pikes and historic roads, such as Leesburg Pike and Cynthiana Rd, which follow the undulating terrain between creek drainages. Significant water features including East Fork Eagle Creek and Silas Cr carve through the countryside, while smaller settlements like Lees Lick and Davis mark the rural crossroads.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of family-centered landmarks and resting places, such as Hinton Cem and Sharon Cem. The naming of Muddy Ford along the western edge highlights the historical importance of creek crossings before modern bridging. This map effectively illustrates the persistent rural character of the area, where land use remains closely tied to the drainages of Mill Cr and Townsend Cr.
