About this map

Roanoke and Nelsonville anchor this Kentucky landscape where the Rolling Fork river winds through a complex network of ridges and hollows. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Potmesser Knob, Cedar Knob, and Pinnacle, while numerous family and community burial sites like Bledsoe Cem, Daugherty Cem, and Potts Spring Cem are scattered across the rural hillsides. The mapping of Patty Hollow, Pearl Hollow, and Province Hollow illustrates the deep-cut drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement for generations.

Transportation corridors including the Bluegrass Parkway and Nelsonville Rd cross the territory, connecting these upland communities to the surrounding region. The presence of smaller features like Valley Creek Spr and the confluence of creeks such as Younger Cr and Edlin Cr indicates a reliance on local water sources. This 2019 survey provides a precise view of property boundaries and topographic relief at the intersection of Hardin, Nelson, and LaRue counties.
