2010 Map of Fancy Farm

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Western Kentucky is defined by the winding course of West Fork Mayfield Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Creek and Barnes Creek. Small rural communities anchor the region, including the crossroads of Kirbyton and the quiet settlement of Beulah near the southern border. This 2010 survey illustrates the deep-rooted local history through its many family and community burial grounds, such as Kirbyton Cemetery, Emmaus Cemetery, and Dodson Cemetery. The mapping of small roads like Dewey Corner Sch Rd and Alben Barkley Rd suggests the enduring importance of rural access to local homesteads. Further north, the namesake landmark of Lowe Lake sits near the confluence of Goose Creek and Wilson Creek, while the village of Wheel occupies a central position within the patchwork of fields and woodlots that characterize this part of Carlisle and Graves counties.
