About this map

Sinking Creek dominates the landscape of this part of Breckinridge County, winding through a series of ridges and hollows including High Burning Ridge and Hurricane Hollow. Small communities and family-named landmarks are clustered along a network of rural roads, with Garfield and Stinnettsville serving as primary hubs. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed rural settlement common to this region of Kentucky, where life is organized around local crossroads such as Rosetta and Graysville.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Over ten named cemeteries are documented, including the Cedar Hill Cemetery in the north and the Horseley Cemetery and Woods Cemetery further south. These sites, often located near family homesteads or old church locations, provide a precise record of the area's ancestral geography. Notable terrain features like Somerset Knob and Pilot Ridge provide clear landmarks for orienting historical land tracts.
