About this map

The Licking River winds through this northern Kentucky landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Kenton, Campbell, and Pendleton counties. Near the riverbanks, smaller settlements like Morning View, Alexander, and DeMossville are connected by a network of winding roads following the ridge lines and creek valleys. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Pleasant Ridge and Clay Ridge, which rise above the surrounding water systems including North Fork Grassy Creek and Cruises Creek.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of local burial grounds and religious centers, such as the Grassy Creek Church and its adjacent Grassy Creek Cem, along with Oakland Cem near Grants Lick. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and rural roads like Wolf Rd and Alexander Rd, reflecting a traditional land-use pattern that persists in this part of the Bluegrass region.
