About this map

Licking River and Locust Creek carve through this Fleming County landscape, defining the rural character of a region where historic transportation and local homesteads intersect. The settlement of Hillsboro serves as a central hub, featuring the Hillsboro Post Office and the nearby Hillsboro Cemetery. The map documents a network of rural routes such as Sunset-Locust Rd and Kendall South Rd, connecting smaller communities like Grassland, Locust, and Sunset.

Infrastructure for the region's movement of goods is visible through several significant spans, including the Big Davis Trestle, Samuels Trestle Bridge, and the Graham Trestle Bridge. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest at Locust Graveyard Hill and Fox Cemetery, while the presence of Days Mill on the river and the Grange City Fox Creek Bridge to the south reflects the enduring agricultural and industrial heritage of this Kentucky countryside.
