About this map

The S Fork Licking River carves a winding path through this northern Harrison County landscape, anchoring a series of small riverside and upland settlements. In the southern corner, the city of Berry serves as a primary hub, while the river's course to the north passes through the hamlets of Colemansville, Durbintown, and Morgan. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Crooked Cr and Snake Lick Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connector roads like Renaker-Berry Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family and community history preserved in the scattered burial grounds that dot the ridges. From the Gum Lick Church Cem in the northwest to the Thompson Cem and Robinson Cem further south, these sites reflect the generations of families who established farms along the forks of the river. Named points like Marcus and Boyd further illustrate the early 21st-century distribution of rural communities in this part of the Bluegrass region.
