About this map

Willow Shade and Dubre sit at the intersection of a complex valley system where the boundaries of Metcalfe, Cumberland, and Monroe counties converge. This southern Kentucky landscape is defined by the winding course of Marrowbone Creek and its many tributaries, including Mud Camp Cr and Leatherwood Cr. The topography is marked by a high density of named hollows, such as Stillhouse Hollow and Sulphur Spring Hollow, which trace the local drainage patterns toward the larger watercourses.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named burial sites and landmarks, from the Old Temple Hill Cem and Clover Hill Cem in the south to the Leamon-Branstetter school site in the northwest. In the southeast corner, the terrain transitions to the banks of the Cumberland River, featuring the distinctive Salt Lick Bend and Cloyds Landing Island, illustrating the historical importance of the river as a geographic anchor for the surrounding agricultural ridges.
