About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of eastern Clark County is defined by the winding course of Upper Howard Creek and its many tributaries, such as Dry Fork and Kings Fork. This rural region is characterized by small, dispersed settlements and a network of family cemeteries that speak to generations of local residency. The Bert T Combs Mountain Parkway cuts a modern path across the northern landscape, contrasting with the older, winding routes like Ironworks Rd and Schollsville Rd that connect historically significant locales.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the geography of established communities such as Agawam, Trapp, and Pilot View. The map preserves the locations of numerous burial grounds including Adams Cem, Rupard Cem, and the Dunaway Church Cem, providing essential markers for family history research. From the Montgomery County line to the southern reaches near Pine Ridge, the map documents the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of this Kentucky interior.
