About this map

The Barren River meanders through this borderland region where Allen, Barren, and Monroe counties meet, creating a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. The town of Fountain Run serves as a primary settlement, with local history anchored at the Old School Cem and Fountain Run Cem. Further south, the community of Akersville sits near the Kentucky-Tennessee line, while Bugtussle occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and small burial grounds, including the Ward - Lewis Cem, Pikesville Cem, and Fraim Cem. The terrain features distinct physical markers like Long Hollow and the Jack Edward Cosby Bottom along the river. This documentation of the area's rural road network, from Akersville Rd to New Design Rd, provides a clear view of the longstanding agricultural and social connectivity in this part of Kentucky.
