About this map

Big Clifty and West Clifty anchor the landscape along the Hardin and Grayson county line, where a series of hollows and ridges define the local geography. Small settlements like Solway, Limp, and Saint Paul are connected by a network of rural routes such as E Elizabethtown Rd, reflecting the traditional community structure of the region. The area is dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including Saint Pauls Cem and Cedar Hill Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for those tracing local lineages.

Waterways like Rough River and Clifty Cr carve through the terrain, creating distinct landforms such as The Narrows and Double S Hill. The presence of the Mc Grew Airport near Clarkson provides an interesting point of modern infrastructure amidst the established rural landscape. This survey documents the intersection of natural drainage patterns, like Flutter Cr and Tinker Run, with the human developments of the early twenty-first century.
