About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of Jessamine County, defining the landscape around the city of Wilmore. This topographic study reveals a high density of recreation and heritage sites clustered where the river meets its tributaries, particularly near the confluence with the Dix River. The southern portion of the map is notable for numerous riverside encampments and landings, including Castlewood Camp, Hagers Camp, and Chimney Rock Camp, illustrating the area's long-standing role as a central Kentucky destination for outdoor life.

Industrial and transit history is anchored by the massive Dix Dam and the structural landmark at High Bridge, where the rail line spans the river gorge. Local genealogy is supported by several family and community burial grounds, such as Weeping Willow Cemetery, Cog Hill Cemetery, and Rhorer Cemetery. On the western edge, the edge of Shakertown appears, connecting the river's geography to the historic communal settlement nearby.
