2016 Map of Eminence

About this map

Eminence serves as the primary hub of this North Central Kentucky landscape, where the northern reaches of the Henry Co Shelby Co line divide the rolling bluegrass terrain. The map documents a sophisticated network of historical thoroughfares, including the evocatively named Narrow Gage Pike and Bullskin-Eminence Rd, which trace the high ground between the Little Kentucky River and Fox Run. Small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout, from Bellview in the northeast to Mulberry in the southeast corner. Notable local landmarks for genealogical research include Eminence Cem and Magruder Cem, while aviation activity is represented by small airstrips like Rooster Field and Flying C Farms Airport. The drainage patterns of Clear Creek and East Clear Creek define the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds the region's agricultural lands.
