About this map

Philpot and the surrounding rural communities of Daviess County appear here in a landscape defined by winding creek branches and energy infrastructure. The map documents a corridor of small settlements including Habit, Grandview, and Boston along the highway, while the eastern edge reaches toward the community of Oklahoma. This region is shaped by the drainage of N Fork Panther Cr and S Fork Panther Cr, with family names appearing on local roads such as Winkler Rd, Jack Hinton Rd, and Luther Taylor Rd.

A notable technical layer of the landscape is the presence of industrial gas storage, specifically the Grandview Gas Storage Field and the Hickory Gas Storage Field. These specialized sites sit alongside long-standing local landmarks like the Bethbara Cem and Fair Forest Camp. From the engineering of the Poplar Log Bridge to the modern reach of the William H Natcher Pkwy, the map provides a look at how transportation and natural resources have intersected in this part of Kentucky.
