About this map

The Kentucky River winds along the eastern boundary of this Franklin County landscape, shaping the lowlands of Polsgrove Bottom and Scotts Bottom. The settlement of Polsgrove sits near the river's edge, while the interior terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Grub Ridge and the aptly named Steamboat Hollow. This 2022 survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where family-named cemeteries such as Adcock Cem, Bailey Cem, and Hutcherson Cem are scattered among small communities like Harvieland and Ottusville.

Transportation patterns follow the serpentine paths of the local hydrology, with routes like Flat Creek Rd and Harp Pike connecting isolated homesteads. The map illustrates the convergence of several county lines, where Franklin, Shelby, Henry, and Owen counties meet. Significant watercourses like Flat Creek and Sixmile Creek carve deep valleys through the uplands, highlighting the area's complex drainage system that feeds into the major river artery to the east.
