2022 Map of Bryantsville

About this map

The Dix River carves a winding course through this central Kentucky landscape, defining the boundaries between Garrard, Mercer, and Boyle counties. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Burdette Knob and the deep river bends that create features such as Brights Bend and Gwinn Island. This modern survey illustrates a network of historic rural settlements, including Bryantsville, Davistown, and the uniquely named Little Needmore. These small communities and crossroads represent the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of the Bluegrass region south of the Kentucky River. Family history is well-preserved through several documented burial sites, such as Proctor Cem and Sallee Cem, which remain as physical links to the area's early inhabitants. The map also shows the northern outskirts of Danville, where the suburban landscape meets the more sparsely populated ridges and creek valleys of McKecknie Creek and Clarks Run.
