About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of the Bluegrass region, serving as the border between Fayette, Jessamine, and Madison counties. At the center of this riverine landscape sits Valley View, where the terrain rises sharply toward Crow Hill and Grizzard Hill. The settlement patterns here follow the ridges and creek valleys, with communities like Logana and Spears situated near the headwaters of Hickman Creek and Marble Cr.

Genealogists will find numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks such as Baldwin, Cuzick, and Million. The southern portion of the map is defined by prominent uplands, including Poosey Ridge and Jolly Ridge, which overlook the drainages of Silver Creek and Tate Creek. Transportation history is evident in the inclusion of Old Railroad RD and several ferry-related routes like Hunters Ferry RD and Carvers Ferry RD, reflecting the historical reliance on river crossings before modern bridges dominated the region.
