About this map

Bryantsville and the winding course of the Dix River define this central Kentucky landscape, where the borders of Boyle, Garrard, Mercer, and Lincoln counties converge. The terrain is characterized by dramatic river bends, notably Brights Bend, and the expansive waters of Herrington Lake, which are crossed by local landmarks like Kennedy Bridge and Chenault Bridge. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of several community burial sites, including Sallee Cem, Proctor Cem, and Robinson Road Cem.

Small settlements and named localities such as Davistown, Marcellus, and the evocatively named Little Needmore are scattered along the ridge lines and creek valleys. Notable topographic features like Burdette Knob and Mt Hebron Ridge overlook the surrounding farmlands. The map provides a detailed view of the road network and hydrology near the northeastern edge of Danville, capturing the transition from the city's outskirts to the rural communities of Toddville, Marksbury, and Hedgeville.
