2011 Map of Bledsoe

About this map

Greasy Creek and the Laurel Fork define the drainage patterns of this eastern Kentucky landscape, where small settlements like Bledsoe and Lewis Creek occupy narrow valley floors. The map reveals a high density of small family burial grounds, including the Napier Cemetery, Jackson Cemetery, and Green Hill Cemetery, which are often located on the lower slopes above the bottomlands. These sites, accessed by roads such as Napier Rd and Jackson Cemetery Rd, provide a window into the ancestral roots of the local community.
