2012 Map of Forkville

About this map

Forkville and the surrounding Scott County landscape are defined by a network of drainage systems and open terrain features. This 2012 survey highlights the prominence of Coffee Bogue as it meanders through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Sugar Bogue and Cherry Cr. The geography is notable for its named open areas, specifically Bald Prairie and Line Prairie, which stand out against the wooded creek bottoms. A distinct pattern of rural settlement is evident along the road network, with communities like Branch and Beach serving as local hubs. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map precisely locates several burial grounds including Latham Cem, Liberty Cem, and the Morton Memorial Cem in the southern reaches, providing a clear record of the local genealogical landscape in the early 21st century.
