About this map

The Licking River winds through the heart of Pendleton County, defining the agricultural and residential landscape of Falmouth and its surrounding rural communities. This area is characterized by the confluence of the main river with the S Fork Licking River, creating a complex valley system where settlements like Catawba, Concord, and Menzie took root along the banks and nearby ridges. The town of Falmouth serves as a central hub, with a detailed street grid including W Shelby St and Woodson Rd, while the Beech Grove Cemetery and Reservoir Hill provide prominent local landmarks.

Water management and recreation are central to the region, highlighted by the presence of Kincaid Lake to the northeast. Fed by Kincaid Cr and its northern and southern branches, the lake represents a significant hydrological feature in a landscape otherwise dominated by the serpentine paths of creeks like Blanket Cr and Willow Cr. From the northern reach of Irving Bottom to the southern cluster at Four Oaks, the map illustrates a classic Kentucky river-valley settlement pattern.
