About this map

The Licking River winds through the southwestern corner of this landscape, marking the boundary between Fleming Co and Bath Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways like Fox Creek, Locust Creek, and Hillsboro Branch, which carve through the elevations near Bald Hill. Small rural settlements are scattered throughout, with Hillsboro serving as a central hub for the local road network, including the Hillsboro - Plummers Landing Rd and Ringos Mills Rd.

Genealogical interest is found in several burial sites such as Locust Grove Cem, Hillsboro Cem, and Fox Cem, along with the curiously named Locust Graveyard Hill. Notable natural features like the Chalybeate Spring and the drainage of Turkey Run reflect the traditional rural character of this northern Kentucky region. The settlement patterns at Poplar Plains, Locust, and Sunset demonstrate a long-standing reliance on the local branch and creek systems for orientation and land division.
