About this map

Falmouth serves as the focal point of this Pendleton County landscape, situated at the significant confluence where the South Fork Licking River joins the main stem of the Licking River. The map reveals a river-oriented geography, with the meandering waters carving deep bends through the terrain, flanked by elevations like Buckeye Hill. Small outlying settlements such as Menzie, Catawba, and Concord are connected by a network of rural routes, including Falmouth Lenoxburg Rd and Catawba Rd.

Transport and topography define the area, from the small Rays Air Strip near the riverbanks to the southern reaches of Hayes. The intricate drainage system is visible through numerous named tributaries like Kincaid Creek, Blanket Creek, and Willow Creek, which have historically shaped the agricultural and residential patterns of this Kentucky river valley. The map provides a clear record of land use and property access via family-named thoroughfares such as Galloway Rd and Bishop Ridge Rd.
