About this map

North Pleasureville and its neighbor Pleasureville anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the boundary between Henry and Shelby counties follows the ridgelines. The area is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of creeks like Sixmile Creek and Dutch Fork, which have carved deep valleys into the Kentucky countryside. This geography dictated a settlement pattern of small, dispersed communities linked by winding roads that often follow the natural contours of the hills.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites including the Dutch Tract Cem and the Banta - Bonta Cem, reflecting the early pioneer families who settled these uplands. To the south, the map documents both Old Christianburg and its successor Christianburg, alongside other historic hubs like Bagdad, Cropper, and Defoe. The presence of the Cherry Hill Airport near Elmburg provides a contemporary contrast to the traditional rural character of the tobacco and cattle country surrounding Beaver Dam Bend.
