About this map

Shepherdsville serves as the focal point of this Kentucky landscape, situated where the Salt River meets a complex network of tributaries like Long Lick Creek and Lickskillet Creek. The town's grid is bisected by the CSX railroad and modern transit corridors, yet the surrounding hills maintain a distinct character defined by family-named landmarks and hollows. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous burial sites, including the Maraman Cemetery and Smith Cemetery near Bardstown Junction, as well as the Lee Cemetery and Cundiff Cemetery further south near Belmont.

The eastern portion of the map transitions into the distinctive knobs of Bullitt County, featuring Indian Knob, Britts Knob, and Houck Knob. This area is marked by deep geographic folds such as Guerilla Hollow and Wildcat Hollow, which sit adjacent to settlements like Limestone Springs and Clermont. The presence of Shady Acres Airport and the engineered waters of Lake Nevin reflect the evolving 21st-century use of this varied terrain.
