2013 Map of Breeding

About this map

Breeding serves as the central hub for this portion of Metcalfe County, situated at the intersection of several local routes in a landscape defined by sharp ridges and winding creeks. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Schemerhorn Ridge and Traylor Ridge, which divide the watersheds of Big Renox Cr and W Fork Crocus Cr. Small settlements like Toria and Cofer are linked by a network of family-named roads, including Chess Jessie Rd and Ross Curry Rd, reflecting a long history of local land ownership. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, including Jessee Cem, Janes Cem, and Fudge Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of south-central Kentucky, where the road network closely follows the natural contours of the ridges and the paths of waterways like Harrods Fork.
