About this map

Sharpsburg serves as a central hub in this modern topographic study of the Bluegrass region, where the borders of Bath, Nicholas, Montgomery, and Bourbon counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hinkston Creek and its many tributaries, including Peytons Lick Br and Bald Eagle Cr. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer and agrarian roots, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds such as Crown Hill Cem, Bramlett Cem, and Jewell Cem.

Smaller crossroads settlements like Judy, Stoops, and East Union anchor the outlying rural districts. Transportation patterns follow historical corridors, with routes like Maysville Rd and Old Hwy 11 cutting through the dissected plateaus. Significant community landmarks, including Smith Chapel Church and the small Flemings Pond, provide specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing the established family lines of these four intersecting Kentucky counties.
