About this map

Gradyville serves as a central hub in this Kentucky landscape, situated where local routes meet the modern Cumberland Pkwy E. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the winding Russell Cr to the north and the extensive reach of Leatherwood Cr and Big Cr through the southern half. These valleys host numerous family-named landmarks and rural settlements like Sparksville, Milltown, and Pickett.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of small burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Rowetown Cem, Dohoney Cem, and Tarters Cem. The map reveals a transition from traditional agricultural road patterns, represented by many family-named lanes like Ben Smith Rd and Alvie Beard Rd, to the more recent infrastructure of the Cumberland Parkway, showing the evolving connectivity of Adair County.
