2010 Map of Freedom

About this map

Skaggs Creek and Nobob Creek define the drainage of this Barren County landscape, where small agricultural settlements and family burial grounds dot the terrain. The map captures the quiet rural character of south-central Kentucky, centered around the crossroads at Mount Hermon and the northern village of Nobob. Genealogists will find this particular sheet indispensable due to the high density of small family and community cemeteries, including Atkinson Cemetery, Lyon Cemetery, and Freedom Cemetery. The winding road network, including names like Antioch Church Rd and Bethlehem Church Rd, suggests a community long organized around its local parishes. In the south, Mud Lick and Jeffrey mark the southern reach of this survey, where Peter Creek and its various tributaries like Cable Branch flow toward the county line.
