About this map

Gradyville serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Adair County, situated where Big Creek and Middle Prong Big Cr converge. The topography is defined by the high ground of Weed Ridge and a dense network of creek valleys, including Sulphur Fork and Butlers Fork, which have dictated the placement of small rural communities like Pickett, Portland, and Sparksville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named locations and burial sites, from Dohoney Cem and Tarters Cem in the north to Rowetown Cem near the Metcalfe County line. The map captures the persistent character of these Kentucky settlements, where place names like Weed and Nell are connected by a web of local routes such as Milltown Rd and Edmonton Rd, reflecting a long history of overland travel through the dissected hills.
