About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through this region of Anderson County, defining the local geography and historical settlement patterns. Along its banks, the community of Tyrone serves as a focal point near the Blackburn Memorial Bridge, while smaller hamlets like Milner and Clifton are situated further inland and along the river's bends. The landscape is marked by numerous watercourses including Griers Creek, Buck Run, and Glenns Creek, which feed into the main river channel.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the Bluegrass Pkwy crossing the southern portion and aviation represented by the Buzzards Roost Airport. Notable landmarks such as Lovers Leap and Lock Hollow suggest the dramatic limestone topography characteristic of the Kentucky Palisades. Researchers can trace numerous local road networks, from Watts Ferry RD to Shryocks Ferry RD, which reflect the historic river-crossing points that once connected these rural communities.
