2019 Map of Garards Fort

About this map

Garards Fort and the surrounding hill country of Greene County are defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and rural settlements. This landscape is intricately carved by numerous waterways, including Whiteley Cr and Meadow Run, which dictate the winding paths of local routes like Kirby Garards Fort Rd. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites such as the Hickman Family Cem, Rinehart-Scott Cem, and the Old Ironsides Cem, suggesting long-established family homesteads scattered across the ridges and hollows. Small communities like Fordyce and Davistown serve as anchor points along the upland terrain of Blaker Ridge. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of Dunkard Township, where the geography of the land remains deeply tied to the ancestral names found at sites like Mason-Ridge Cem and Johnson Cem.
