2016 Map of Hardin

About this map

Benton and Hardin serve as the primary hubs in this southern Kentucky landscape, where the Clarks River and its intricate network of tributaries like Beaverdam Slough and Ellison Cr define the geography. The region's history is deeply etched in its family cemeteries, including Ford Cem, Dunn Cem, and Horn Cem, which are scattered among smaller communities such as Dogtown, Walnut Grove, and Olive. The terrain's karst character is evidenced by Sinkhole Hill south of Benton. Modern infrastructure, notably the Purchase Pkwy, cuts through a rural grid of namesake roads like Slaughter Rd and Collins Farm Rd. The map also captures the site of Wadesboro, once a significant early 19th-century county seat, now represented by its surviving namesake Wadesboro Cem near the southern boundary.
