About this map

Hustonville and the surrounding rural communities of Lincoln and Casey counties are defined by a complex network of knobs and creek valleys. The settlement of McKinney sits near McKinney Bluff and Yates Ridge, while the small hamlet of Chicken Bristle marks the northeastern reaches of the area. This landscape is deeply tied to the drainage patterns of the Green River and Hanging Fork Creek, which have carved out the distinct topography of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-defined burial sites, including the Cloyd-Hicks Family Graveyard and McCormick Cemetery. The interior terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Meetinghouse Knob, Grider Knob, and Fletcher Knob, which rise above the surrounding farm lanes and secondary roads like Old Liberty Pike and Patsy Riffe Ridge Road. This survey documents a quiet rural era where the geography of family farms and small crossroads settlements remained largely intact.
