2016 Map of Pitts Point

About this map

Pitts Point stands at the confluence where the Salt River meets the Rolling Fork, marking a landscape defined by significant river bends and fertile bottomlands like Atherton Flats. This area of the Kentucky interior is characterized by dramatic topographic shifts, from the low-lying reaches of Mud Cr and Indian Run to the prominent elevations of The Knobs and Sugar Loaf. The map reveals a dense network of family history preserved in numerous small burial grounds, including the Snellen, Froman, and Troutman cemeteries, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows such as Rodgers Hollow and Heartfield Hollow. The settlement at Beech Grove serves as a secondary focal point in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, while the southern boundary tracks the dividing line between Bullitt and Hardin counties. Specialized roads like the 191st Tank Battalion Rd reflect the unique modern usage of these traditional Kentucky hills.
