About this map

Amandaville and the winding course of Crocus Creek anchor this mid-2010s survey of south-central Kentucky. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks and named ridges, including Independence Ridge and Chestnut Flat Ridge, which separate the various forks and branches feeding into the Cumberland River at the southern edge of the sheet. The settlement pattern is largely dispersed along upland roads, with rural centers like Chance, Inroad, and Cundiff situated among the high ground above the creek bottoms.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial sites, such as Hadleys Cem, McGinnis Cem, and Stotts Cem. These landmarks, along with many family-named roads like Ralph Hadley Rd and Carlos Stotts Rd, reflect long-standing local lineages. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundaries between Adair, Cumberland, and Russell counties, showing how the natural topography of ridges like Big Pond Ridge influenced the historical development of these three counties.
