About this map

Willow Shade and Dubre anchor this landscape where three Kentucky counties—Metcalfe, Cumberland, and Monroe—converge amidst a complex network of hollows and ridges. The terrain is deeply carved by the waters of Marrowbone Creek and Mud Camp Cr, which snake through the hills toward the Salt Lick Bend of the Cumberland River. This modern survey captures the legacy of local families and small-scale agriculture, evidenced by numerous named roads like Ham and Honey Rd and Richard Hammer Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of community burial sites, including Creacy Cem, Franklin Cem, and Mud Camp Cem. The map reveals a settlement pattern dictated by topography, with centers like Marrowbone and Hickory Ridge positioned along ridgelines or nestled in the valleys. Distinctive landmarks such as Stillhouse Hollow and Mud Camp Bar provide clues to historical land use and the river-based geography that has shaped the region for generations.
