About this map

Crofton serves as the primary hub of this Western Kentucky landscape, situated where the Edward T. Breathitt Pennyrile Pkwy meets local routes like S Old Madisonville Rd and Rabbit Ridge Rd. To the north, the smaller settlement of Mannington sits along the rail corridor. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites important to local genealogy, including Wynns Cemetery, Flatrock Cemetery, and the Foster Field Cemetery.

Hydrological features dominate the eastern and southern reaches, defined by the winding course of the West Fork Pond River and its various tributaries, including the Middle Branch Pond River and Coal Creek. Strategic infrastructure like the Crofton Lookout Tower and Dam Number 11 point to the area's forest management and water control efforts in the early 21st century. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Gumlick Hollow to the elevation of Red Hill in the northeast.
