About this map

The Middle Fork Kentucky River snakes through the center of this landscape, carving deep loops like the prominent Opossum Bend. The topography is defined by narrow ridges and hollows, where small settlements such as Buckhorn, Gays Creek, and Confluence follow the natural drainage patterns. Genealogists can locate family burial sites including Deaton Cem, Aims Cem, and Johnson Cem, which are tucked away on hillsides above the winding watercourses.

Transport corridors like State Hwy 2022 and State Hwy 1110 parallel the creeks, while Old Railroad Rd follows the high ground in the northeast, tracing an older industrial footprint. Notable landmarks like Courthouse Fort and Langdon Knob provide distinct elevation points overlooking the complex network of branches and forks, such as Polly Johnson Br and Otter Creek, that feed into the main river system.
