About this map

The White Hall State Shrine and the surrounding historical landscape north of Richmond characterize this area of the Bluegrass region. The map highlights a transition from the rolling terrain near the Kentucky River to the established residential developments of Arlington and Hillcrest. Local geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Irvine Lick, Tate Cr, and Shallow Ford Cr, which have historically influenced the placement of early homesteads and roads.

Small communities like Redhouse and Blue Grass anchor the eastern and central portions of the sheet, while named elevations like Jerry Clay Hill provide landmark points for local history researchers. The presence of Stony Run and various forks of Otter Creek illustrates the complex drainage system that feeds the larger river valley to the northwest, shaping the agricultural and residential boundaries of Madison County.
