About this map

The N Fork Licking River carves a winding path through this corner of Kentucky, defining a landscape of narrow ridges and deeply recessed hollows. Small agricultural settlements like Pleasureville, Foxport, and Wallingford are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of winding ridge roads and valley routes. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Mays Cem, Esham Cem, and Million Cem, which dot the uplands of Oak Ridge and Pea Ridge.

Evidence of the region's recreational and natural geography appears at the Park Lake Resort, situated near Fox Springs and Park Lake. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Sugar Loaf Mountain and numerous named drainages like Beechy Cr and Kinniconick Cr. This survey captures the rural character of the area, where life is organized around the complex system of "hollows," such as Thompson Hollow and Bogdens Hollow, that feed into the larger river system.
