2010 Map of Drakesboro

About this map

Drakesboro serves as a central hub in this part of Muhlenberg County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of local roads and creek systems. Named for local musician and coal country legend Merle Travis, the Merle Travis Hwy cuts through the territory, linking settlements like Ebenezer and Beech Creek. The area is notably water-rich, with Pond Creek and Plum Creek winding through the terrain, supporting a series of small communities including Nonnell, Bevier, and Belton. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, such as Ennis Cemetery and Browder Cemetery, while the northern portion of the map is marked by specialized industrial routes like the P and M Haul Rd, reflecting the regional importance of resource extraction and haulage during this era.
