About this map

Allensville serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape, situated just north of the meandering Elk Fork and the prominent Kentucky-Tennessee state line. This 2019 survey captures the agricultural character of the region, where a dense network of local roads such as Shackelford RD and Keysburg RD connect small settlements and family farmsteads. The settlement of Keysburg anchors the southeastern portion of the map near the Red River, while Darnell sits further west along the state border.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named cemeteries across the countryside. These small burial sites, including Belmont Cem, Mitchell Cem, Hill Cem, Stainback Cem, and Wall Cem, are often tucked away near established homesteads or at the terminus of rural lanes like Newton Rd. The map also highlights the importance of local water sources such as Rum Spring Cr and Mosley Pond in this traditional farming community.
