About this map

New Haven serves as the primary hub of this landscape where Nelson and LaRue counties meet, situated at the junction of the Rolling Fork and Knob Cr. The area is defined by its distinct knobs and hollows, with landmarks like Potato Hill Knob, Buzzard Roost, and Forty Acre Knob rising above the river valleys. To the southeast, the community of Gethsemane sits near Pottinger Cr, while Athertonville marks the southern reach of the survey.

Genealogists and local historians can find several family-named burial sites including Pottinger Cem, Vowles Cem, and the Beeler- Vittitow Cem. The map documents a network of rural routes such as Vittitow Ford Rd and Greenwell Ford Rd, reflecting the historical importance of river crossings. Smaller settlements like Lyons, Balltown, and Culvertown are connected by these winding roads, tracing a settlement pattern heavily influenced by the winding courses of Beech Fork and its tributaries.
