2016 Map of Breeding

About this map

Breeding and the surrounding highlands of south-central Kentucky are defined by a complex network of ridges and narrow stream valleys where the borders of Adair, Metcalfe, and Cumberland counties converge. The local landscape is a patchwork of family-named landmarks and small rural settlements like Toria and Cofer. Significant topographic features such as Mosby Ridge and Schemerhorn Ridge divide the headwaters of numerous creeks, including the E Fork Little Barren River and Big Renox Cr. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, including Janes Cem and Jessee Cem, which sit alongside winding rural routes like Old Fudge Cemetery Rd and Salt Peter Cave Rd. The drainage patterns of Harrods Fork and Casey Fork illustrate the deeply dissected nature of this plateau region during the early twenty-first century.
