2016 Map of Mount Washington

About this map

Mount Washington serves as the central hub of this northern Kentucky survey, situated where the Jefferson, Bullitt, and Spencer county lines converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Floyds Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Broad Run and Old Mans Run, which carve through the undulating terrain. This 2016 edition documents the suburban expansion around Heritage Creek and Fairmount, contrasting established residential grids with the more open drainage basins of the Salt River near Smithville. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, such as Markwell Cem, Gentry Cem, and Saint Francis Cem. The presence of landmarks like Bethel Ch and the curiously named Hell provide specific points of interest for those tracing the cultural and physical development of the region east of Louisville.
