About this map

The Licking River winds along the western edge of this Kentucky landscape, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the communities of Butler and Meridian. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Fisher Ridge and the heights around Pleasant Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like California Cross Rd and SirY Rd. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where small rural settlements remain tied to their ancestral grounds, evidenced by the high density of family and church-affiliated burial sites.

Genealogists will find significant value in the many documented cemeteries scattered across the county line between Campbell Co and Pendleton Co. From the Immaculate Conception Church Cem in the northeast to Peach Grove Church Cem and Mount Auburn Cem, these sites are often the only remaining markers of historical congregation centers. The map also traces numerous tributaries such as Stepstone Cr, Twelvemile Cr, and Flour Cr, which have shaped the local topography and historical farm placement for generations.
