About this map

The Licking River winds through the heart of this Northern Kentucky landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Kenton, Campbell, and Pendleton counties. During the early 1980s, this area maintained a rural character defined by small settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Morning View and the hamlet of De Mossville are positioned near the Louisville and Nashville railroad line, which follows the river's path through the valley. Local community life is anchored by sites like St Marys Ch, St Marys Sch, and Grassy Creek Ch.

The presence of several family burial grounds, including Caldwell Cem and Smith Cem, provides valuable points of interest for genealogists tracing regional lineages. To the northeast, A J Jolly County Park and Grants Lick represent centers of recreation and community, while the many named branches and creeks, such as Cruises Creek and Plum Creek, illustrate the intricate drainage system of the Kentucky hills.
