About this map

The Kentucky River carves the northwestern boundary of this central Kentucky landscape, where the Madison Co Fayette Co line follows the river's winding path. In the north, the small settlement of Redhouse sits among the headwaters of Otter Creek and its various forks, while the northern edge of Richmond anchors the southern portion of the map. Residential growth is visible in neighborhoods like Arlington and Hillcrest, which extend from the urban center toward the rolling farmland and limestone-rich creek beds of the Bluegrass region.

A complex network of small waterways, including Shallow Ford Cr and Dreaming Cr, dissects the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have long influenced local land use. Named rural landmarks like Jerry Clay Hill and family-named roads such as Brandy Ln and Goggins Ln offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these communities outside the city limits.
