About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through the borderlands of Jessamine, Fayette, and Madison counties, creating a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high ridges. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where modern infrastructure like the Kentucky River Pkwy intersects with old carriage routes and ferry roads, including Carvers Ferry Rd and Hunters Ferry Rd. Small unincorporated communities and rural clusters like Valley View, Logana, and Stringtown anchor the region.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, such as the Walker - Hale Cem, Willie Taylor Cem, and the Joseph Christian Farm Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the dissected plateau, where local landmarks like Grizzard Hill and Whitlock Hill rise above the drainage networks of Tate Creek, Silver Creek, and Hickman Creek. Cultural markers like Antioch Church and the Old Railroad Rd offer evidence of the area's long-standing community ties and historical transportation corridors.
