About this map

Blandville sits atop the high ground of the Jackson Purchase region in this late 1970s revision, overlooking the expansive wetlands of the Mayfield Creek basin. This topographic study reveals a landscape defined by the drainage patterns of the West Fork and Hurricane Creek, where the floodplain is broken by features like the St Arbor Slough. The rural character of western Kentucky is evident in the scattered settlements of Cunningham, New York, and Garner, which are connected by a network of local roads and family-named landmarks.

Local historians can trace numerous genealogical markers throughout the quadrangle, including the Martin Cem, Robinson Cem, and Hall Cem. The presence of the Shady Grove Ch and multiple Gravel Pits reflects the community's social and industrial foundations. Significant infrastructure, such as a major Pipeline and a Radio Tower, underscores the modernization of this agricultural area between the Ballard and Carlisle county line.
