About this map

The Big South Fork and Little South Fork wind through a complex landscape of ridges and gaps in this portion of Casey County. Central to the area is Ellisburg, situated at the confluence of several branches including Hafley Branch Rd and Ellis Br. To the west, the settlement of Peytons Store serves as a local landmark near the Cox Graveyard, illustrating the long-standing family ties and small-scale community nodes typical of the region.

Genealogists can find numerous burial sites across the terrain, from the Tabscott Cem near Peyton Ridge Rd to the Adam Cem located at the end of Adam Cemetery Rd. The map also details the many knobs that define the horizon, including Turkeyfoot Knob, Chandler Knob, and May Knob. This network of narrow valley roads and high ridges like Snake Ridge and Dividing Ridge highlights the enduring rural character of this Kentucky landscape, where life follows the paths of waterways such as Brush Cr and Robin Lick Cr.
