2016 Map of Caneyville

About this map

Caneyville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Grayson County, where the convergence of the Caney Creek and its various forks has long dictated the layout of local infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the North Caney Creek Fork and South Fork Caney Creek, which wind through a landscape dotted with small rural settlements like Millwood, Peth, and Post. The presence of the Caneyville Reservoir and numbered lakes suggests a managed hydrological landscape, while family-named features like Jones Hill and Hoover Hill reflect the deep-rooted local history of the region. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the documented locations of the Layman Cemetery and the dispersed road network connecting long-standing communities like Shrewsbury to the larger transportation corridors.
