The Little Laurel River and Laurel River systems anchor the landscape south of London in Laurel County. This modern survey illustrates the suburban expansion and transportation corridors branching from the county seat, including the E Daniel Boone Pkwy and the heavy commercial infrastructure surrounding London-Corbin Airport-Magee Field. Smaller, historically distinct communities like Lily, Fariston, and Sublimity City maintain their identities amidst the transition from industrial and utility sites, such as the Sewage Disposal Plant Rd, to the more rural, creek-divided topography of the south and east. Genealogy researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Owsley Cem, Hopkins Cem, and Ward Cem, alongside established local institutions like the Fariston Baptist Church. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Rocky Knob and Frazier Knob, which overlook the winding tributaries of Rough Cr and Lick Cr.
