About this map

Breeding and its surrounding countryside in Metcalfe County are defined by a dense network of ridges and winding creek beds. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural landscape where life and travel are dictated by the terrain, with roads like Copas Ridge Rd and Jones Ridge Rd following the high ground between watersheds. The map is a valuable resource for genealogists, as it identifies family-named burial sites including Jessee Cemetery, Janes Cemetery, and Fudge Cemetery.

Waterways such as Big Renox Creek, West Fork Crocus Creek, and Red Lick Creek carve through the landscape, providing natural boundaries for small settlements like Toria, Cofer, and Picnic. The topography is marked by distinct elevations such as Schemerhorn Ridge and Traylor Ridge, which historically influenced the placement of homesteads and local transit routes throughout this southern Kentucky region.
