About this map

Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park anchors the northern and western reaches of this area, centered on the historic Boundary Oak and the early 19th-century landscape of Larue County. The settlement of Hodgenville serves as the local hub, where the N Fork Nolin River meets the road network. To the south, the village of Buffalo and its neighbor South Buffalo mark a transition toward the S Fork Nolin River, an area characterized by family farms and established rural congregations.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, from church-affiliated grounds like Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Cem to private plots such as the George Redmon Family Cem and the Hill Family Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow watercourses like McDougal Cr and Castleman Cr that carve through the upland topography, influencing the placement of early homesteads and secondary routes like Saint Jochin Cemetery Rd.
