About this map

Fountain Run sits at the intersection of several county lines in this southern Kentucky landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Barren River and the deeply incised valleys of Indian Creek and Salt Lick Creek. These watercourses have shaped the local geography, creating distinctive features like the Jack Edward Cosby Bottom and the prominent White Oak Ridge. The map details a network of rural roads that connect small settlements and family landmarks, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of Monroe, Barren, and Allen counties.

Genealogists will find significant value in the location of the Fountain Run Cem and Roark Cem, as well as the proximity of several rural communities like Akersville, Flippin, and the uniquely named Bugtussle. The state line between Kentucky Tennessee at the southern edge of the survey highlights the cross-border connectivity of this region, where Long Hollow and numerous branches like Figure Eight Br drain toward the river system.
