2016 Map of Polsgrove

About this map

The Kentucky River winds along the eastern boundary of this Franklin County landscape, shaping the fertile lowlands of Polsgrove Bottom and Lecompte Bottom. This area is defined by a high density of family cemeteries and small rural settlements, including Polsgrove, Ottusville, and Harvieland. The terrain transitions from the river's edge to the high ground of Grub Ridge and Dry Ridge, where the complex drainage systems of Flat Creek and Sixmile Creek have carved deep valleys into the Kentucky countryside. Several historic church and family burial sites, such as Grub Ridge Church Cem and the Waits Cem, are scattered across the uplands. The mapping of Steamboat Hollow near Scotts Bottom serves as a reminder of the river's historical role in regional transportation and commerce.
