About this map

Flaherty serves as the primary hub of this 1960 survey, situated at a vital crossroads along the Grahamton-Vine Grove Road. The landscape is defined by the prominent Sand Ridge and elevations like Bee Knob Hill and Tullove Hill, which separate the agricultural lowlands from the protected wooded areas. Near the settlement, the St Martin Sch and Flaherty Sch illustrate the importance of local education and faith in this rural Kentucky community.

Genealogists will find an exceptionally high density of burial grounds and country chapels throughout the terrain, including Yates Cem, Howell Cem, and Arms Cem. The northeastern corner transitions into the highly restricted Fort Knox Military Reservation, while the southern reaches are drained by the waters of Nalls Valley and Flippin Run. This map captures the mid-century intersection of military expansion and traditional family farmsteads along the Meade Co Hardin Co boundary.
