2019 Map of Freedom

About this map

Mount Hermon serves as a central hub in this section of south-central Kentucky, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Skaggs Creek and its many tributaries. The area maintains a rural character with scattered settlements like Nobob and Jeffrey connected by a network of established local roads such as Temple Hill Rd and Sulphur Lick Rd. The concentration of small, family-named burial grounds across the terrain, including Atkinson Cem, Lyon Cem, and Simmons Cem, provides a detailed record of the local families who settled these ridges and valleys. Waterways like Nobob Cr and Steam Mill Br dictate the local topography, while the boundary between Barren and Monroe Counties cuts through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the administrative divisions of this agricultural region.
