About this map

The Licking River and its numerous tributaries, including Fox Cr and Locust Cr, define the rural geography of Fleming County in the early 21st century. Several small settlements such as Poplar Plains, Grassland, and Hillsboro anchor the local road network, while specialized landmarks like Days Mill and Mount Hope Camp speak to the long-standing land use in the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of the Locust Graveyard near Locust, along with the Hillsboro Cem and Fox Cem. The landscape is punctuated by historical infrastructure including the Samuels Trestle Bridge, Big Davis Trestle, and the Grange City Fox Creek Bridge, marking the crossings over the intricate creek system that feeds into the river valley. The proximity of Locust Graveyard Hill and Chalybeate Spring further illustrates the distinct character of this Kentucky interior.
