About this map

Cerulean and Gracey anchor this 2013 survey of the Kentucky countryside, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Muddy Fork Little River. The map reveals a dense network of local roads and family-named landmarks, reflecting a deep-rooted rural community. Prominent elevations such as Buffalo Knob and Buie Knob rise above the drainage basins of Horse Cr and Stillhouse Br, providing topographical variation to the rolling fields.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the area, including Roach Cem, Lander Cem, and Turner Cem. These sites, often situated near historic crossroads like Buffalo or along rural routes such as Old Bainbridge Loop, offer vital touchpoints for tracing family histories in Trigg and Christian Counties. The settlement at Montgomery marks the southwestern extent of the map, situated near the modern road network that continues to shape local travel and commerce.
