About this map

Springfield and Loretto anchor this central Kentucky landscape, where the rural topography of Washington and Marion counties is defined by a dense network of watercourses and winding country roads. The transition between these small communities is marked by minor settlements such as Bearwallow, Cisselville, and Burkes Spring, each situated near the drainages of Cartwright Creek and Hardins Creek. These waterways, including Hickory Camp Run and Station Run, historically influenced the placement of farms and early transport routes throughout the region. The modern landscape includes the Lebanon Springfield Airport-George Hoerter Field and roads reflecting the local bourbon industry, such as Makers Mark Rd, alongside more idiosyncratic names like Beantown Rd. This data-driven look at the area highlights the persistent pattern of ridge-top roads and creek-bottom agricultural land that has shaped this portion of the Bluegrass region.
