About this map

The Kentucky River snakes along the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the rural character of Franklin County. Long-standing local family history is anchored by burial grounds such as Bailey Cemetery, Hutcherson Cemetery, and Moore Cemetery, which sit among the rolling creek valleys. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Flat Creek and its many tributaries, with small communities like Polsgrove, Ottusville, and Flag Fork serving as local landmarks.

Evidence of the area's river-dependent past remains visible at Harpers Ferry and the descriptively named Steamboat Hollow. The road network, including Lecompte Bottom Rd and Harvieland Rd, traces the contours of the land, connecting dispersed farmsteads and rural homesites. From the bottomlands of Lecompte Bottom to the higher ground of Dry Ridge, the map captures a contemporary look at a deeply traditional Kentucky river-valley landscape.
