About this map

Mount Eden and Southville anchor this Kentucky landscape where the upland ridges of Spencer County meet the northern reaches of Taylorsville Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding drainage systems, including Beech Creek and Tenmile Creek, which have carved deep valleys through the limestone-rich topography. Higher ground is marked by locally named elevations such as Elk Hill and the broad expanses of Possum Ridge and Pea Ridge.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Little Mount International Airport and Miles Field, tucked among a complex web of rural corridors like Southville Pike and Finchville Road. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the convoluted shoreline of Taylorsville Lake, formed by the impoundment of the Salt River just beyond these borders. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of how contemporary settlements like Little Mount continue to follow the high-ground paths established by early transit routes.
