2013 Map of Fordsville

About this map

The community of Fordsville serves as the primary hub in this portion of Ohio County, where local roads converge at the southern end of a complex drainage network. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Adams Fork and the S Br S Fork Panther Cr, creating a series of ridges and knobs that have shaped local settlement patterns for generations. Distinctive terrain features such as Turkey Scratch Knob, Bald Knob, and Hickory Lick Ridge overlook small, dispersed communities including Easton, Ellmitch, and Victoria Crossroads. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Boling Chapel Cem, Sanders Cem, Wedding Cem, Haynes Cem, and Beatty Cem. The road network, including the Hawesville Easton Rd and Haynesville-Easton Rd, reflects the area's agricultural and rural character as it appeared in the early 21st century.
