2019 Map of Cornishville

About this map

The Chaplin River and the Salt River frame this landscape of Mercer County, Kentucky, where the topography is defined by the tight drainage patterns of Deep Cr, Thompson Creek, and Grapevine Cr. This area remains largely rural and agricultural, characterized by its numerous small settlements and family-named cemeteries. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for Mayo Church Cem and Hopewell Church Cem in the north, and Berea Cem and Oakland Cem in the south near the Mackville Rd corridor. The community of Cornishville sits as a central hub, connected to outlying hamlets like Bohon and Bushtown by a network of historic pikes and lanes. These roads, such as Central Pike and Jackson Pike, follow the ridgelines and creek valleys, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on its natural watercourses for orientation and travel.
