About this map

Fredonia serves as the central hub of this Western Kentucky landscape, situated where the borders of Caldwell, Crittenden, and Lyon Counties converge. The region is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burying grounds, such as the Old Fredonia Cem and the Crider African American Cem, which speak to the deep ancestral roots of the local community. To the north, the small settlement of Mexico sits near the headwaters of Livingston Cr, an area marked by notable terrain features like Whitt Bluff and Stegar Bluff.

Southward, the terrain opens into the Fredonia Valley, while numerous springs and creeks, including Sulphur Spring and Skinframe Cr, crisscross the countryside. The presence of several distinct cemeteries, such as the Campbell Cem and Hill Cem, alongside scattered church sites like Livingston Presbyterian Church Cem, provides a detailed record of the nineteenth and twentieth-century rural social fabric for genealogists and local historians.
