About this map

Hillsboro and Poplar Plains serve as the primary anchors for this rural landscape in the 2010s, where the winding Licking River forms a natural boundary between Fleming and Bath Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including Locust Creek, Fox Creek, and Turkey Run, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and small communities like Sunset and Locust.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of local burial grounds, such as Locust Graveyard on Locust Graveyard Hill and Hillsboro Cem. The map also preserves the locations of several structural landmarks, including Samuels Trestle Bridge and the Grange City Fox Creek Bridge. This record of the modern Kentucky countryside shows a landscape of family-named roads like Evans Sisters Rd and Doc Reeves Rd, reflecting a deeply rooted local history that persists alongside the natural flow of the river and its many branches.
