About this map

CSX Transportation tracks cut a diagonal path through this part of Kentucky, connecting a string of small rural communities that define the local geography. Settlements like Smithfield, Jericho, and Pendleton are anchored by this rail corridor, while the surrounding landscape is shaped by the winding Little Kentucky River and Harrods Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a transition between established agricultural lands and more modern developments, visible in the cluster of residential streets around Crystal Lake and Land N Lake.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved here, including Valley Rest Cem and Hendronsville Cem, providing vital clues for family research in this area. Small-scale aviation is represented by Jake's Field Airport, located near Lake Jericho. The map detail shows a dense network of local routes such as Mount Olivet Rd and Wooded Hills Rd that stitch together the various forks and runs that feed the region's watersheds.
