About this map

The city of Paris serves as a focal point in this landscape where the boundaries of Bourbon and Fayette counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Stoner Creek and Houston Creek, which shape the local geography and historical settlement patterns. Smaller communities like Hutchison, Monterey, and Sidville are scattered across the region, connected by a network of established routes such as Georgetown Rd and Brentsville Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Paris Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and Fisher Cem. The map also illustrates the transition from rural agricultural land to aviation utility, marked by the presence of private airstrips like Blue Haven Farm Airport and Zanzibar Farm Airport. The northern reaches of Lexington-Fayette appear in the southwest, showing the gradual expansion of the urban area toward the Bourbon County line.
