2013 Map of Nolin Lake

About this map

Nolin Lake dominates this central Kentucky landscape, where the winding Nolin River creates a complex system of wooded peninsulas and sheltered coves. The map captures the transition from lakeside communities like Moutardier and Iberia to the protected forests of Mammoth Cave National Park in the southeast. Cultural landmarks such as Demunbruns Store and Reeds Ferry reflect the area's rural social fabric, while geologic features like Dismal Rock, Whistle Mountain, and Chimney Stack punctuate the drainage basins of Bylew Cr and Brier Cr. The intricate road network serving local settlements like Cub Run and Hillview illustrates how residential growth has adapted to the jagged shoreline and the traditional farmland surrounding Straw and Ollie.
