About this map

The agrarian landscape of Shelby County is defined here by the headwaters of several prominent waterways, including Bullskin Creek and its tributary Little Bullskin Creek. Central to this area is Simpsonville, a historic settlement that sits along a major transportation corridor, flanked by smaller communities such as Montclair and Veechdale. Further south, Finchville marks a crossroads near the winding path of Brashears Creek, where the local landscape begins to show the density of small rural homesteads and family farms typical of this portion of the Kentucky Bluegrass region.

Researchers will find significant genealogical and local history markers, most notably Picketts Cemetery located near the junction of Picketts Dam RD and Brashears Creek. The map documents the residential patterns of several outlying neighborhoods, such as Lincoln Ridge and Olive Branch, and provides a detailed look at the road network that connects these centers, including historic routes like Zaring Mill RD and Harrington Mill RD.
