About this map

Caneyville serves as the central hub of this West Central Kentucky landscape, where the waters of Caney Cr and its various branches, including the N Caney Cr Fork and S Fork Caney Cr, dictate the movement of local roads. The settlement pattern follows these drainage systems and the higher ground of ridges like Jones Hill, with small communities such as Millwood, Peth, and Post dotting the countryside. To the south, the village of Shrewsbury sits near Sunfish Cr, illustrating the dispersed rural character of Grayson County.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family lines through landmarks like Layman Cem or follow the paths of established routes like Falls of Rough Rd and Beaver Dam Rd. The presence of Lake Number 6 and Lake Number 13 reflects the region's managed water resources, while the network of named forks and runs—such as Jarrett Fork and Dunns Run—highlights a terrain defined by its many small waterways.
