About this map

Mabry Ridge and Goodin Ridge define the steep-cut topography of this region at the intersection of Elliott, Carter, and Rowan Counties. The 2019 survey reveals a rural landscape dominated by family-named landmarks and high-elevation ridges, such as McDaniel Ridge and Stamper Ridge. Small settlements like Ault, Beartown, and Ordinary are connected by winding roads that follow the contours of the numerous creek branches, including Arabs Fork and Big Caney Cr.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds, including the Henderson Cem, Kegley Cem, and the LeMasters-Holbrook Cem. The presence of the Old Laurel School near the southern boundary suggests a historic community hub in a landscape otherwise defined by the drainage patterns of Mocabee Cr and Leatherwood Br. The distribution of these cemeteries and the Beartown Church Cem reflects the deep-rooted family ties characteristic of this part of Kentucky.
