About this map

The southern outskirts of Richmond and the northern edge of Berea anchor this Madison County landscape as it appeared in late 2019. This corridor reveals the transition from suburban expansion near the Central Kentucky Regional Airport to the rural patterns of the central Kentucky plateau. Older agricultural roots are visible in settlements like Caleast, Peytontown, and Buggytown, while names such as Silver Creek and Whites mark the historical hamlets that long preceded modern road networks.

Topography here is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Taylor Fork and its namesake Taylor Fork Lake, alongside Irvine Lick and Pumpkin Run. Family history is preserved at local burial sites such as Haines Cem and Cochran Cem, as well as the larger Madison County Memorial Gardens. The map details a landscape shaped by both significant highway transit and a intricate web of older routes like Curtis Pike and Barnes Mill Rd.
