About this map

New Haven sits near the confluence of Rolling Fork and Pottinger Cr, serving as a central hub in a landscape defined by prominent knobs and narrow creek valleys. The area is marked by a deep Catholic history, anchored by the Abbey of Gethsemani Cem and the nearby settlement of Gethsemane. These religious and community foundations are mirrored by family-named landmarks such as Beeler - Vittitow Cem and Marshall Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct elevations including Troutman Knob, Blue Gap Knob, and Forty Acre Knob. These features dictate the winding paths of local thoroughfares like New Haven Rd and New Hope Rd. The map also captures several smaller communities such as Athertonville, Balltown, and Culvertown, illustrating the persistent rural settlement patterns along the Nelson Co Larue Co boundary.
