About this map

Waverly Hills and the ridge systems of southwestern Jefferson County define the topography as the suburban expansion of Louisville transitions into the steep knobs of the Jefferson Co Bullitt Co line. This landscape is a dense network of family-named peaks and hollows, including Potato Knob, Samuel Hill, and Headley Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small communities.

Settlement patterns follow the narrow corridors between the hills, where many family cemeteries like the Horine Cem, Miller Cem, and Weird Cem remain as physical anchors of local genealogy. In the north, established communities such as Prairie Village and Valley Station are well-defined, while the southern reaches towards Shepherdsville show the more dispersed character of Barrallton and the drainage basins of Knob Cr and Brushy Fork.
