About this map

Edgewood and the nearby community of La Clede anchor this portion of Fayette County, revealing a landscape defined by its rural cemetery network and established transportation corridors. The village of Edgewood is centered around its post office and local street grid, situated at a junction where regional thoroughfares and railroads historically shaped local growth. To the north, the small settlement of Gilmore sits amidst a patchwork of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds.

Genealogists will find this 2012 survey particularly valuable for its density of identified cemeteries, including Saint Anns Catholic Cem, Mahon Cem, and the Old Mason Cem. These sites, along with the Beck William Cem and Kavanaugh Cem, provide a clear record of local family history and settlement patterns. The natural geography is marked by the winding courses of Fulfer Cr, Limestone Cr, and Dismal Cr, which intersect the rectilinear grid of county roads that organize the agricultural terrain.
