About this map

Salvisa and Mortonsville anchor this 2013 study of the central Kentucky landscape, where the winding path of the Kentucky River creates dramatic terrain features like Oregon Bend and Chapman Bend. The map documents a predominantly rural environment defined by small settlements and family-named routes, such as Harry Wise Rd and Ben Currens Rd. Local history is preserved in the names of old river crossings and crossings-turned-communities like Oregon and Ebenezer.

The road network reflects a mixture of modern infrastructure and deep-rooted local pathways. While the Bluegrass Pkwy W cuts across the northern section, much of the area relies on traditional routes like Dawson Ferry Rd and Lillards Ferry Rd, hinting at the historic importance of the river for transport and trade. Natural features like Lillards Spring and numerous creeks, including Gilbert Cr and Clay Lick Cr, further define the topography of this Woodford and Mercer County region.
