About this map

The Metcalfe County Courthouse serves as the focal point for Edmonton, situated in a region characterized by deep hollows and prominent ridges. This part of Kentucky is defined by the branching waters of the S Fork Little Barren River and the E Fork Little Barren River, which carve through the landscape to create numerous family-named landmarks like Mosby Hollow and Bragg Hollow.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Hamilton-Free-Brookshier Cem, Grissom-Moss Cem, and Rogers-Beauchamp Cem. The road network connects older settlements like Cedar Flats and Curtis to the county seat via routes like Breeding Rd and Tompkinsville Rd. The presence of many ridges, including Silas Barnes Ridge and Callahan Ridge, reflects a settlement pattern where homes and cemeteries often occupy the higher ground above the stream-filled hollows.
