About this map

N Fork Licking River winds through this central Kentucky landscape, carving a deep valley that separates the rural communities of Burtonville, Foxport, and Wallingford. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Sugar Loaf Mtn and the prominent Pea Ridge. This 2016 survey illustrates a region where local geography is tied to these natural drainages, such as Kinniconick Cr and Sand Lick Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history landmarks, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the high ground, including Martin Cem, Million Cem, and Esham Cem. These sites, often positioned on ridges like Oak Ridge or near hollows such as Million Hollow, provide a detailed record of local settlement patterns. The map also highlights Park Lake and various natural springs like Fox Springs, which have long served as vital water sources for the surrounding farms and homesteads.
