2013 Map of Elliston

About this map

Eagle Cr and its winding tributaries define the rural landscape of Grant County in this modern survey. The map records a network of small, scattered communities including Downingsville, Stewartsville, Jericho, and Folsom, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the region. Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous family-named burial sites such as Delf Cem, Sipple Cem, and Webster Cem, which sit alongside historic transit points like Eagle Mill Ford and Twin Bridges. The intricate drainage pattern of Arnolds Cr and Clarks Cr dictates the path of many local roads, such as Elliston Mount Zion Rd and Dry Ridge Mount Zion Rd, which connect the highland ridges to the stream valleys. This layout demonstrates how early settlement and property lines were shaped by the Kentucky creek-and-ridge topography.
