2010 Map of Clementsville

About this map

Clementsville and Atterson anchor this rural landscape in central Kentucky, where a complex network of ridgelines and creek bottoms defines the local settlement pattern. The topography is dominated by distinctively named high ground, such as Chicken Gizzard Ridge and Pennington Ridge, which separate the various branches of Casey Creek and Gum Lick Creek. This 2010 survey shows the area's rural character through its dispersed farmsteads, country churches like Noel Chapel, and several local burial grounds including Gilpin Cemetery and Belton Cemetery. The presence of the Liberty-Casey County Airport near Possum Trot Ridge indicates a point of modern infrastructure amidst the traditional ridge-and-hollow terrain. To the south, settlements at Creston and Rheber sit near the headwaters of Locust Creek and Rifle Creek, illustrating how community life remains tied to the narrow valleys and upland passes of the region.
