Knobs region

It is a narrow, arc-shaped region consisting of hundreds of isolated hills.

The region wraps around the southern and eastern parts of the Bluegrass region in the north central to northeastern part of the state.

The western end of the Knobs region begins near Louisville, Kentucky and continues southeastward through Bullitt, Hardin, Nelson, LaRue, Marion County, Taylor, Boyle, Casey, Lincoln, and Garrard counties before turning northeast and running along the Pottsville Escarpment and the Appalachian Plateau.

[1] Many of the hills are conical and up to several hundred feet high, some with capstones that form cliffs.
