2022 Map of Freedom

About this map

Mount Hermon and Nobob anchor this landscape along the Barren and Monroe County line, where the terrain is deeply dissected by the winding tributaries of Skaggs Creek. The map documents a rural environment defined by its cemeteries, providing a significant resource for genealogists researching families in the vicinity of Mud Lick and Jeffrey. Family names are preserved throughout the survey in landmarks such as Martin Family Cem, Billingsley Cem, and Payne Cem. The road network, featuring routes like Potato Cave Rd and Sulphur Lick Rd, follows the ridges and valley floors between watercourses like Nobob Cr and Peter Cr. This 2022 survey captures the persistent rural character of south-central Kentucky, where small community centers and historic burial grounds like Old Cedar Hill Church Cem remain the primary points of orientation.
