2022 Map of Berlin

About this map

Berlin and its surrounding uplands sit at the heart of this Kentucky landscape, where the topography is defined by the sharp divide of the Pendleton Co Bracken Co line. This survey shows a rural environment where life follows the ridgeline roads and winding watercourses like Kincaid Cr and Willow Cr. Smaller settlements such as Neave, Lenoxburg, and Bachelors Rest are connected by a network of local routes including Heave Ridge Rd and Powersville Willow Rd. For genealogists and local researchers, the map is particularly useful for identifying family burial grounds, including the Blackerby Cem near Berlin and the Johnsville Cem to the north. The drainage patterns of Sellers Run and Snag Cr illustrate how the terrain dictated the placement of early homesteads and agricultural boundaries in this part of the Bluegrass region.
