About this map

Lawrenceburg serves as the primary hub in this central Kentucky landscape, where the street grid of the city meets a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Salt River at the southern boundary and the multiple branches of Benson Creek to the north. These waterways historically dictated the placement of small communities like Alton Station, Farmdale, and Ninevah.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites scattered across the countryside, ranging from the Carpenter Lane Graveyard to smaller family plots such as Thacker Cemetery and Munday Cemetery. The map also captures the ecclesiastical importance of the Salt River Church and its associated cemetery, providing a clear record of local centers of worship and community gathering in Anderson County during the early 21st century.
