2013 Map of Maud

About this map

Fredericktown and the surrounding Nelson County countryside are defined by a network of winding waterways and family-named homesteads. The landscape is carved by the Beech Fork and the Chaplin River, which create a complex drainage system including Hog Run, Doe Run, and Cartwright Cr. In this early 21st-century study, rural settlements such as Woodlawn, Maud, and Mooresville anchor the agricultural region, connected by local routes like the Old Fredericktown-Bardstown Rd. The map is particularly rich in genealogical sites, noting numerous small burial grounds such as Settle Cem, Tucker Cem, and Holy Trinity Cem. These landmarks, along with terrain features like Mayo Hill, reflect a long history of land ownership and community clusters that have persisted as the area transitioned into a modern crossroads near the Bluegrass Pkwy W.
