1952 Map of Little Hickman

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a dramatic path through the Bluegrass landscape, defining the jagged boundaries between Jessamine, Garrard, and Madison Counties. This 1952 survey, updated with 1988 data, illustrates a region rooted in small agrarian settlements and river history. Notable rural communities like Little Hickman and Hanly are connected by winding roads and several country churches, including Roberts Chapel and Ebenezer Ch. Significant local landmarks include the Camp Nelson National Cem and Daniel Boones Cave, located near the sharp oxbow of Pollys Bend. While the northern edge shows the expansion of Nicholasville, much of the area remains characterized by its complex hydrology, with the Hickman Creek drainage system and the notable Sulphur Well school and namesake water feature serving as central points for local genealogists and historians.
