About this map

The Menifee County Courthouse stands at the center of Frenchburg, the primary settlement in this corner of Kentucky. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridges, such as Wildcat Ridge and McCausey Ridge, which have dictated the placement of roads and homesteads for generations. Small communities like Rothwell, Cornwell, and Fagan are situated along the valley floors, connected by routes like State Hwy 713 and Old US Hwy 460.

Large portions of the eastern and southern terrain are managed within the Daniel Boone National Forest, where features like Leatherwood Creek and Myers Fork carve through the heavily wooded topography. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous small burial grounds, including Slusher Cem, Buchanan Cem, and Hatton Cem, often tucked away near family-named landmarks like Willis Hollow or Amos Ridge.
