The town of Caneyville sits at a critical junction of local geography, where the Western Kentucky Pkwy cuts across a landscape defined by the branching tributaries of the Caney Fork. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural Kentucky infrastructure shaped by water management and transit, featuring the Caneyville Reservoir, Lake Number 1, and Lake Number 13. Smaller settlements like Post, Millwood, and Shrewsbury anchor the surrounding countryside, connected by a network of family-named roads such as Choncie Lee Rd and Tommy Ray Rd. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Jones Hill and Hoover Hill, while the Layman Cemetery provides a touchstone for local genealogical research. The mapping of North Caney Creek Fork and South Fork Caney Creek reveals the dendritic drainage patterns that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and thoroughfares in this portion of Grayson County.
