2013 Map of Tyrone

About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep winding path through the Bluegrass landscape, defining the settlement patterns of Tyrone and Clifton in this 2013 survey. The river's influence is evident in landmarks like Lock Hollow and the massive Blackburn Memorial Bridge, which provides a vital link across the limestone palisades. The geography is marked by distinctive bends and bluffs, including Germany Bend, Lovers Leap, and the prominent Kentucky Bluff. Small crossroads communities such as Milner and McKees Crossroads dot the uplands, connected by a network of rural roads that often lead to historic river crossings like Whites Ferry Rd and Watts Ferry Rd. The presence of small landing strips such as Buzzard's Roost Airport and Seldom Scene Airport highlights the mix of traditional agriculture and modern private aviation in Anderson and Woodford counties. Numerous small tributaries, including Griers Cr and Glenns Cr, feed into the main river channel, shaping the rolling terrain around Mile Hill.
