2010 Map of Center

About this map

The Little Barren River winds through this rural landscape, carving a prominent Horseshoe Bend as it flows past small farming communities and family homesteads. The terrain is characterized by a high density of ancestral burial grounds, including the Sydnor Cemetery, Sandidge Cemetery, and Mercer Cemetery, which provide critical reference points for local genealogists. Named settlements like Center, Whickerville, and Crailhope are connected by a network of winding local roads such as River Bottom Rd and Fairview Church-Pascal Rd. Notable landmarks like Pilot Knob and the Hundred Acre Pond stand out against the agricultural backdrop, while numerous creek branches like Mouser Branch and Lemon Branch feed into the larger river system. This area reflects the enduring rural character of central Kentucky, where the placement of cemeteries and small settlement hubs has remained consistent over generations.
