About this map

The Licking River carves a deep, winding path through the borderlands of Kenton, Campbell, and Pendleton Counties, defining the rural character of this northern Kentucky region. Smaller settlements like DeMossville, Morning View, and Grants Lick serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community, where ridges such as Pleasant Ridge and Clay Ridge separate numerous stream valleys. The geography of the area is heavily influenced by its hydrology, with drainage from Bloody Run, Cruises Creek, and the complex network of Grassy Creek feeding into the main river channel.

Family history is well-preserved through several upland burial sites, including Oakland Cem, Smith Cem, and the Grassy Creek Church Cem near the Grassy Creek Church. The map details the transition from the flatlands of Wilmington Bottom to the high ground around Alexander. The connectivity of the era is shown through established routes like Morningview Rd and Alexander Rd, which follow the contours of the landscape to link isolated farms and river crossings.
