About this map

Woodrow and Locust Hill anchor the northern reaches of this Breckinridge County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural settlements. The North Fork Rough River winds through the central portion of the map, fed by numerous tributaries including Fiddlers Creek and the meandering Muddy Prong. This drainage system has historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connecting routes like Old Sebree Mook Rd and Hudson-Fairfield-Buras Rd.

Genealogical researchers will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds such as Alexander Cemetery, Butler Cemetery, and Nichols Cemetery, which are scattered among small communities like Fairfield and Hudson. The concentration of sites like Marks Ridge and Ivory Hollow suggests a long history of agricultural settlement centered around the local waterways and the ridges between them.
