About this map

The Pond River and its meandering tributaries dominate this western Kentucky landscape, defining the boundaries and agricultural patterns between McNary and Bakersport. The terrain is characterized by low-lying wetlands and floodplains, including Long Pond and the branching waters of the West Fork Pond River. Rising above these bottomlands, Turkey Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark in an area otherwise marked by the intricate drainage of Elk Pond Creek and Jarrels Creek.

Cultural history is preserved through numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Oglesby Cemetery, Hight Cemetery, and Rice Cemetery. The transportation network is a mix of modern infrastructure, like the Wendell H Ford Western KY Pkwy, and local thoroughfares like Greens Chapel Rd and Jestro Ford Rd, which hint at older river crossings and rural settlements like Mount Carmel.
