About this map

Claysville sits along the southern banks of the Licking River, where the borders of Harrison, Robertson, and Bracken counties converge in a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek valleys. This 2019 survey captures the rural character of Northern Kentucky, where small settlements like Browning Corner, Milford, and Sunrise are linked by winding roads such as McDowell Rd and Falmouth-Milford Rd. The mapping of these upland plateaus reveals a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Browning Cem, Doggett Cem, and the Pleasant Valley Cem.

The dendritic drainage pattern is particularly evident as the North Fork Licking River and tributaries like Greasy Cr, Harrison Creek, and Willow Cr carve through the limestone terrain. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for family landmarks and rural crossroads that have persisted through generations, while the intricate network of local connectors like McKinney Ln and Riley Mill Rd illustrates the enduring layout of these rural communities.
