About this map

Nicholasville serves as the central hub of this Central Kentucky landscape, situated where the urban edge of Lexington meets the rolling farm country of Jessamine County. The transition from suburban developments like Stonewall Estates and Blueberry Hill in the north to the more open agricultural lands of Jessamine in the south illustrates the rapid expansion of the Bluegrass region. The terrain is marked by the unique karst topography of the area, evidenced by features such as Sinking Creek and Cogars Spring.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of family burial sites scattered across the countryside. These include the Aaron Farra Family Cemetery and the Clarence Marrs Farm Cemetery, alongside larger communal spaces like Blue Grass Memorial Gardens. The drainage patterns of Hickman Creek and Jessamine Creek define the historic boundaries of early land grants and settlements such as Union Mills and South Elkhorn.
