About this map

Faubush and the surrounding rural communities of Burnetta, Norfleet, and Naomi sit atop a dissected plateau where the Pulaski Co and Russell Co line intersects. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Newhope Ridge, Happy Ridge, and Ducky Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of local roads like Old Columbia Rd and Faubush-Norfleet Rd. The drainage pattern is equally complex, with Wolf Cr, Faubush Cr, and White Oak Cr carving deep into the terrain.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and burial sites throughout the area. Numerous small cemeteries are documented, including Cooks Chapel Cem, Cedar Point Cem, and Tarter Cem. These sites, often located near prominent landforms like Rainwater Knob or Harrison Knob, provide a clear record of the families who settled this part of south-central Kentucky. The modern Cumberland Pkwy cuts across the northern section of the map, contrasting with the older settlement patterns centered around Ingle and Vinnie.
