2019 Map of Bradfordsville

About this map

Bradfordsville serves as the primary hub of this central Kentucky landscape, situated where the North Rolling Fork and the Rolling Fork merge. The topography is defined by the steep rise of Muldraugh Hill, which forms a natural barrier separating the drainage basins in the north from the intricate creek systems to the south. Historically significant crossings like Peck Ford and the winding course of Arbuckle Cr illustrate the area's reliance on river geography for early transit and settlement patterns. Smaller communities like Salleetown and Merrimac are positioned along these corridors, while family-named landmarks such as Turkey Knob and Buzzard Rock punctuate the ridges. Local history and genealogy are anchored by rural burial sites including Liberty Cem, Tallow Creek Cem, and Mann Cem, which remain scattered across the drainages of Robinson Cr and Black Lick Cr.
