2011 Map of Cranston

About this map

Cranston and the surrounding Rowan County hollows appear here in exceptional detail, reflecting a landscape defined by its network of family cemeteries and winding creek branches. The settlement of Waltz sits centrally near the intersection of several watercourses, including Rock Fork and Ham Branch, while the high ground is marked by the Hickory Flats Lookout Tower. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents dozens of small family burial grounds such as Maddox-Hamm Cemetery, Wyatt Cemetery, Drake Cemetery, and the Anderson Family Cemetery. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Triplett Creek dictate the local road network, with routes like Rockfork Rd and Pine Grove Rd following the narrow valleys between wooded ridges. From Ryan in the north to Smile in the south, the map captures the enduring rural character of this Kentucky region.
