About this map

The settlement of Hickory serves as a central hub in this Graves County landscape, where the local road network converges near Anderson Cr and Cooley Cr. This 2013 record illustrates the persistence of small agricultural and residential communities like Pottsville, Viola, and West Viola, which are linked by a web of rural routes and family-named thoroughfares. The drainage patterns of the Mayfield Cr and the W Fork Mayfield Cr dictate much of the local geography, with numerous smaller tributaries such as Key Cr and Gilbert Cr dissecting the terrain.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Old Union Cem and Maplewood Cem. A significant local landmark, the County War Memorial Fairgrounds, is situated in the southern portion of the map, providing a glimpse into the civic life of the region. The map preserves a clear picture of the land divisions and transportation corridors that supported this corner of Kentucky in the early 21st century.
