2016 Map of Claysville

About this map

The Licking River and its North Fork carve a winding course through this rural Kentucky landscape, where the boundaries of Pendleton, Bracken, Harrison, and Robertson counties converge. This 2016 survey shows a territory defined by small hilltop settlements and valley floors, notably at Claysville and Milford. The map serves as a detailed record for family history, locating numerous small burial grounds including the Browning Cem, Doggett Cem, and Hitch Cem that dot the ridges. Transportation follows the natural topography, with routes like Falmouth-Milford Rd and Kentontown Rd connecting these isolated communities. Along the many tributaries such as Beaver Cr and Harrison Creek, the intricate contour lines illustrate the deeply dissected plateau character of the region, emphasizing the traditional importance of river bottomlands for settlement and agriculture.
