2016 Map of Science Hill

About this map

Science Hill serves as a central hub for this portion of Pulaski County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Fishing Creek and its many tributaries like Rock Lick Cr and Buncombe Br. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and knobs, including Beech Grove Ridge, Jacksonville Ridge, and Bethel Knob, which overlook deep hollows such as Copper Hollow and Pumpkin Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family-named cemeteries like Ansel Cem, Spaw Cem, and Vaught Cem scattered across the countryside. Small settlements such as Ansel, Hogue, and Norwood are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the contours of the land. Landmarks like High Rock and The Narrows provide distinct navigational points within this complex topography of the Kentucky Pennyroyal region.
