2016 Map of Richmond South

About this map

Eastern Kentucky University anchors the northern portion of this Madison County landscape, where the southern reaches of Richmond meet the rural expanses of the Bluegrass region. The transition from academic and suburban development to agricultural land is marked by numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks. Waterways like Silver Creek, Taylor Fork, and Pumpkin Run dissect the terrain, influencing the placement of early road networks such as Crutcher Pike. Local history is preserved in small burial grounds including Haines Cemetery and Cochran Cemetery, as well as established communities like Peytontown, Caleast, and Buggytown. Transport and utility are central to the area's layout, evidenced by the presence of Madison Airport and the Silver Creek Bridge, which connect these dispersed settlements to the larger regional infrastructure.
