2010 Map of Howe Valley

About this map

Howe Valley serves as a central hub for this rural Kentucky landscape, where the meandering course of the Rough River defines the western terrain. The area is characterized by a series of distinct topographic features, from the elevations of Blueball Hill and Wilmoth Hill to the karst-influenced drainage indicated by Roaring Spring and Stiles Spring. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Ridge Spring Cemetery near Nalls Valley and Wheatley Cemetery closer to Greer Lake. Settlement patterns follow an established network of named roads like Blueball Church Rd and W Yates Chapel Rd, connecting the hamlets of Perryville and Four Corners. The map also documents specific local landmarks such as The Hogback and Buzzard Cliff, providing a detailed look at the rural Hardin County interior at the start of the 21st century.
