About five miles east of town is Muldraugh Hill, an escarpment that divides the Bluegrass region from the Pennyrile. The hill is about 500 feet higher than the surrounding terrain and extends about 75 miles from West Point in the northwest to Calvary in the southeast. Muldraugh Hill was probably named for John Muldraugh, an early settler.
