About this map

The Salt River meanders across the southern landscape of this Spencer County study, where the small community of Waterford sits near the confluence of Plum Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage runs and creeks, including Dutchman Creek and Elk Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns and rural road systems. Small clusters of habitation are evident at Wilsonville in the north and Whitfield to the west, linked by local thoroughfares such as Dawson Hill Road and Whitfield Lane.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several Cem sites and the Kings Ch, providing clues to family history in this agricultural region. The map also documents the transition of land use through the appearance of a Trailer Park near the Bullitt County line. Hydrological data is represented by several Gaging Sta points along the primary waterways, reflecting the importance of the river system to the local environment and community infrastructure.
