About this map

Berea and its surrounding college campus dominate this 2016 survey, where the institution of Berea Coll serves as a central landmark for the region. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors near Middletown and Farristown to the more dramatic elevations of the south and east. Here, the topography rises sharply toward Bear Mtn and Welch Mtn, separated by the deep incision of Long Hollow.

Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial sites, including the Ogg Cem, Abney Cem, and Johnson Cem, often located near historical settlement points like Slate Lick and Boone. The hydrography is defined by a network of creeks such as Silver Cr and Brushy Fork, which have shaped the local road patterns and land use. To the west, the settlement of Wallaceton sits near the border of Madison and Garrard Counties, illustrating the rural-to-urban gradient typical of this portion of central Kentucky.
