About this map

The Licking River carves a dramatic path through the landscape of Northern Kentucky, defining the boundary between Kenton and Campbell counties. Large meanders like Grants Bend and Big Bend dominate the central terrain, where the historic Grants Tunnel is situated near the settlement of Grant. This region is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Culbertson Cem, Pruett Mardis Cem, and Saint Mary's Cem near the town of Alexandria.

Suburban and rural developments such as Ryland Heights, Taylor Mill, and Latonia Lakes sit atop the ridgelines, connected by the prominent Alexandria Pike. The map illustrates the varied topography from the river lowlands to high points like Visalia Hill and Phillip Creek Ridge, providing a clear record of the area's established churches like Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church and its network of small creek valleys.
