2016 Map of Glen Dean

About this map

Glen Dean and the surrounding rural crossroads of Breckinridge County are defined by a deeply dissected landscape of creeks and high ridges. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Clover Cr and Rock Lick Cr, with small communities like McQuady, Rockvale, and Vanzant serving as local anchors. Family history is etched into the landscape through numerous named thoroughfares such as Jackson School House Rd, Frank Dean Rd, and Bill Mingus Rd, alongside the solitary Owens Cem near the southern boundary. A notable piece of local industrial history is preserved in the label for Old Railroad Bed Rd, which traces a former transit corridor through the hills. Terrain features such as Egypt Knob, Black Jack Knob, and Knob Lick Hill provide significant vertical relief, illustrating the traditional upland farming and timber environment of this region of Kentucky.
