About this map

Solitude and Brownington anchor the northern landscape of this Kentucky quadrangle, where the terrain transitions from the Salt River lowlands into a series of distinctive ridges and hollows. The rural character of the area is defined by its small settlements and family-named geography, such as Rice Orchard Ridge and Ashlock Hollow. Transportation and community hubs are centered around the southern portion of the map, notably at Deatsville and Samuels, which sit near the Saint Gregorys Cem.

A network of local creeks including Rocky Run and Cox Cr drains the landscape, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that historically influenced land use and settlement. The map reveals a cluster of smaller locales like Lotus, Henpeck, and Hobbs, which provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking local family histories. From the Samuels Springs Airport to the various named forks of Overalls Cr, this survey preserves the 2013 layout of Bullitt and Nelson County rural life.
