About this map

The Fort Knox Military Reservation occupies the northeastern corner of this region, bordering the meandering course of Otter Creek. The landscape transition from the high elevations of Knob Hill down through Sand Ridge reveals a rural pattern dominated by crossroads communities and family legacies. In Flaherty, the St Martins Sch serves as a central landmark, while the southern reaches near Vine Grove are characterized by smaller waterways like Flippin Creek.

Genealogists will find a significant density of family-named burial sites and rural congregations, including New Salem Ch and Liberty Ch. Small cemeteries like Howell Cem, Arms Cem, and Martin Cem are scattered across the terrain, often located near old farm lanes such as Bratcher Lane and Blue Martin Rd. This map captures the area just as local infrastructure was expanding, evidenced by the presence of a Radio Tower and an Athletic Field near the town centers.
