About this map

The South Fork Licking River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Harrison, Pendleton, and Grant Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by deep-set stream valleys and upland ridges. Along the eastern edge of this terrain, small settlements like Berry and Colemansville sit within the river's loops, connected by a network of winding roads like Durbintown Rd and Cynthiana Rd. The geography here is heavily marked by family and community history, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds including Pythian Grove Cem and Thompson Cem.

Away from the primary river valley, the topography is dissected by an intricate drainage system including Fork Lick Creek and Raven Creek. These waterways dictated the placement of early rural centers such as Morgan and Marcus. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of landmarks like Gum Lick Church and Roanoke Cem, which remain as core identifiers for the scattered rural population centers throughout this portion of northern Kentucky.
