About this map

Waverly Hills and the surrounding residential developments of southwest Jefferson County define this transition from the suburban fringe of Louisville into the high ridges of the Jefferson County Memorial Forest. The map shows a landscape of post-war growth where planned communities like Prairie Village and Valley Station sit adjacent to older family landmarks and churchyards.

Transport is anchored by the Dixie Highway and the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which run parallel through the valley. To the south and east, the terrain rises sharply toward Potato Knob and White Oak Ridge, where the dense network of cemeteries such as Bethany Mem Cem and Horine Cem provide significant genealogical markers. The boundary with Bullitt County is visible near Barrailton, marking the edge of the Fort Knox Military Reservation.
