2013 Map of Nelsonville

About this map

Rolling Fork meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving out a series of significant hollows and ridges that define the rural character of Larue County. The settlement of Nelsonville serves as a primary reference point in the northeast, while Roanoke anchors the central valley near Middle Cr. The distribution of family-named burial grounds across the terrain, such as Bledsoe Cem, Vernon Cem, and Neff Cem, reflects a deeply rooted community structure tied to specific landholdings. Notable elevations like Potmesser Knob and Cedar Knob rise above the drainage basins of Broadhead Run and Edlin Cr. This modern survey details the intricate network of local roads, from Spencer School Rd to Brown Cemetery Ln, that continue to connect these ancestral sites and small farmsteads.
