About this map

Colesburg and the surrounding Hardin County countryside appear here in a landscape defined by winding creek valleys and numerous family-named landmarks. The area's settlement history is etched into the terrain through a high density of small burial grounds, including Patterson Chapel Cem, Cedar Creek Cem, and Larkin Cem. These sites, often located near watercourses like Cedar Cr and Crooked Cr, provide essential mapping for genealogists and local historians tracing early Kentucky families.

Infrastructure like the Wooldridge Ferry Bridge and Wooldridge Ferry Rd indicates historical crossing points across the local drainage system. The topography transitions from the lowlands of Broad Run and Sulphur Br to the distinct heights of Orms Knob and Bolton Knob. Small community nodes at Booth and Crest anchor the road network, while features like Potlick Point and Happy Hollow reflect the traditional naming conventions of the Kentucky interior.
