About this map

Cave Run Lake dominates the central landscape of this Kentucky survey, where the waters of the Licking River basin meet the heavily wooded ridges of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Small settlements such as Bangor and Paragon are situated along the winding roads that follow the valley floors, often marked by a high density of family-named burial grounds like the Stacy-Peyton Cem and Wallace Cem One. These cemeteries, frequently located on hillsides overlooking the creek branches, provide a clear genealogical record of the region's long-established residents.

The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems including Ramey Creek and Brushy Fork, which have carved deep hollows such as Shrout Hollow and Limekiln Hollow. Distinctive landmarks such as the elevated Lockegee Rock and the Poppin Rock Tunnel near Poppin Hill highlight the physical challenges of movement through this topography. To the west, the Zilpo Recreation Area marks a shift toward modern land use, yet the prevalence of names like Baldridge Cem and Cornett Cem ensures that the map remains a primary resource for tracing family ties across the Rowan and Menifee county lines.
