About this map

Fordsville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Ohio County, where the convergence of Adams Fork and W Fork Adams Fork shaped the early development of the surrounding countryside. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with numerous named branches and forks cutting through the ridges. To the north, the high ground of Turkey Scratch Knob and Bald Knob overlooks a network of rural roads connecting small settlements like Easton, Cabot, and Victoria Crossroads.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of family burial sites and rural congregations. Several cemeteries are preserved across the terrain, including Boling Chapel Cem, Sanders Cem, and Beatty Cem. The map captures the meeting of three counties—Ohio, Hancock, and Breckinridge—providing a clear view of how political boundaries follow the winding ridges and stream beds of the N Br S Fork Panther Cr and Pond Run systems.
