About this map

The South Fork Licking River carves a winding path through this Harrison County landscape, anchoring the regional hub of Cynthiana. The town's historic layout is clearly visible, with its grid of streets expanding near the riverbanks and landmarks such as the expansive Battle Grove Cem. The surrounding countryside is dotted with smaller communities including Belmont, Poindexter, and Robinson, each linked by a network of winding roads like Old Falmouth Pike and Robinson Renaker Rd.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including Union Cem, Saint Edwards Cem, and Cherry Grove Cem. The northern terrain is defined by numerous smaller waterways such as Curry Cr and Neurls Run, illustrating the well-drained valley topography that has supported this Kentucky region's agricultural and settlement patterns for generations.
