2013 Map of Dubre

About this map

Willow Shade and Dubre anchor this rural Kentucky landscape, where deep-cut valleys and named hollows define the social and physical geography of Metcalfe County. The drainage network is dense, with Marrowbone Cr and Mud Camp Cr winding through the terrain toward the Cumberland River in the southeast. Historical footprints are preserved in the naming of dozens of small valleys, such as Stillhouse Hollow, Humphrey Hollow, and Sulphur Spring Hollow, reflecting a legacy of small-scale industry and early settlement patterns along the watercourses. Local genealogists will find value in the placement of small burial grounds including Mud Camp Cem and Franklin Cem, which sit alongside a network of ridge-running roads like Hickory Ridge. The transition from the upland ridges to the bottomlands at Mud Camp illustrates the traditional Kentucky crossroads development in the early twenty-first century.
