2013 Map of Flaherty

About this map

The crossroads settlement of Flaherty serves as the focal point of this rural Kentucky landscape, where a dense concentration of family and community cemeteries reveals a long history of local lineage. For genealogists and local historians, the sheer number of burial grounds—including Hynes Cem, Yates Cem, and McCoy Cem—provides a detailed look at the scattered family farmsteads that defined the region before modern suburban expansion. The terrain is characterized by distinctive formations like Sand Ridge and Bee Knob Hill, while the drainage patterns of Otter Cr and Flippin Cr dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Hodgenville Rd. This survey documents the transition of these agricultural lands in the early 21st century, balancing established homesteads with newer residential developments near Brushy Fork.
