2019 Map of Custer

About this map

Hudson and Fairfield anchor this rural landscape in Breckinridge County, where the terrain is deeply carved by the N Fork Rough River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Goodhope Cem, Drane Cem, and Pile Cem, reflecting generations of local settlement and genealogical history across Marks Ridge and Duncan Valley. The hydrography of the region is notably intricate, with Muddy Prong, Clear Prong, and White Oak Cr winding through the hollows. Small hamlets like Woodrow, Buras, and Locust Hill are connected by a network of named country roads and lanes, such as Garfield Woodrow Rd and Locust Hill-Buras-Custer Rd, which trace the high ridges and valley floors. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the area, defined by its traditional farm-to-market road patterns and well-preserved namesake landmarks.
