About this map

The boundary between Larue Co Hart Co bisects this mid-century landscape of knobs and hollows, where small rural settlements are linked by a developing road network. At the center of the survey lies Hammonville, while smaller hamlets like Talley, Maxine, and Brooks sit tucked among the hills. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Three Springs Knob and Veach Knob, which give way to deep drainages like Bacon Creek and Honey Run.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds and houses of worship, including McCandless Cem, Gaddie Cem, and Mt Pisgah Ch. The agricultural character of the era is evident in the scattered homesteads and labels for resource extraction, including an Oil Well and Gas Well near the southwestern corner. North of Hammonville, the Oak Hill Mission and Oak Hill Ch mark long-standing community centers in this portion of the Kentucky interior.
