2016 Map of Fancy Farm

About this map

Fancy Farm serves as a central hub in this corner of Western Kentucky, where the boundaries of Carlisle, Graves, and Hickman Counties meet. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape defined by agricultural drainage, with the W Fork Mayfield Cr and McClane Cr winding through the lowlands. The settlement patterns follow a network of county roads, connecting smaller locales like Kirbyton, Beulah, and the aptly named Wheel. Genealogists will find significant value in the scattered rural burial sites documented here, including Kirbyton Cem, Emmaus Cem, and Dodson Cem. These small cemeteries and named spur roads, such as N Dodson Spur Rd, provide precise geographic markers for family land tracts and historic local neighborhoods that have persisted since the early days of Kentucky settlement in the Jackson Purchase region.
