2019 Map of Richmond North

About this map

Richmond anchors the southeastern corner of this landscape, showing the suburban expansion of residential neighborhoods like Hillcrest and Arlington. The terrain to the north and west is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Otter Creek and its various branches, including West Fork Otter Creek and W Fork Otter Cr, carve through the rolling Bluegrass region. The boundary between Madison County and Fayette County is marked by the winding path of the Kentucky River in the extreme northwest. Historical land use and family legacies are visible through features like Jerry Clay Hill and the small settlement of Redhouse. Transport routes are dominated by the interstate and the Old Lexington Rd, which parallel each other while tracing the older corridors of travel between the regional centers. Smaller waterways such as Irvine Lick and Shallow Ford Cr reflect the deep-rooted agricultural and hydraulic history of this central Kentucky landscape.
