Hinkston Creek carves a deeply sinuous path through this section of the Kentucky Bluegrass, defining the winding borders between Nicholas, Bourbon, and Montgomery counties. In the early 1950s, the rural character of the region remained centered on small hubs like Sharpsburg and East Union, connected by a network of narrow roads traversing the dissected plateau. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, including Oak Hill Ch and several rural burial grounds such as Springfield Cem and Jewell Cem.
