2019 Map of Hiseville

About this map

Hiseville and Griderville anchor this portion of the Barren County landscape, where the karst topography of south-central Kentucky is evidenced by numerous small depressions and sinkholes scattered throughout the terrain. The settlement pattern follows the local road network, connecting established communities like Coral Hill, Lecta, and Halfway across a region defined by the headwaters of several drainages. Significant elevation markers include Winlock Knob and Buck Knob to the east, providing vertical contrast to the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Barren Fork. For researchers, the presence of the Arnett Cem near Slick Rock provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study. The boundary between Barren County and Metcalfe County is clearly delineated along the eastern edge of the survey area, tracing the rural divide between these two central Kentucky districts.
