2010 Map of De Mossville

About this map

The Licking River carves a winding path through this northern Kentucky landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of named tributaries including Cruises Creek and Plum Creek. The settlement pattern is defined by river-valley hamlets and upland ridges, with Demossville and Morning View situated near the water, while Grants Lick and Alexandria occupy the higher ground to the northeast. This 2010 survey shows a complex rural road network connecting long-established family names to the land, visible through features like Caldwell Cemetery and Smith Cemetery. The topography is characterized by deep dissection, particularly where the North Fork Grassy Creek and South Fork Grassy Creek converge, creating the localized relief typical of the region's outer bluegrass geology. Smaller water bodies like Thorn Hill Lake and Campbell County Lake dot the northern reaches, providing local focal points amidst the many winding county roads.
