About this map

Nicholasville and the southern reaches of Lexington anchor this survey of the Bluegrass region, showing a landscape defined by its creek networks and growing residential developments. The area between these two centers is drained by Jessamine Creek and its tributaries, with prominent landmarks such as Catnip Hill and Cogars Spring punctuating the undulating terrain. A clear historical boundary is visible where Fayette County meets Jessamine County, tracing a path near the waters of South Elkhorn Creek.

Genealogical and local history value is found in sites like Locust Grove Cemetery and the Blue Grass Memorial Gardens. To the east, the settlement of Union Mills sits near the winding course of Hickman Creek, while the legacy of former transit is preserved in the naming of Old Railroad Road. Established neighborhoods such as Brigadoon, Lansdowne, and Blueberry Hill illustrate the suburban expansion south from the city core during this period.
