About this map

Hustonville and McKinney serve as central points in this portion of Lincoln County, where the landscape transitions from the drainage of Hanging Fork Cr to the upper reaches of the Green River. The terrain is characterized by numerous prominent knobs and ridges, such as Buzzard Knob, Grider Knob, and Riffle Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Old Liberty Pike and Patsy Riffe Ridge Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the family-named burial grounds and small settlements scattered throughout the area. Small communities such as Mount Salem, New Salem, and the colorfully named Chicken Bristle are documented alongside several family resting places, including the Cloyd-Hicks Family Graveyard and McCormick Cem. The map illustrates a settled agricultural landscape where life follows the contours of the knobs and the banks of creeks like Pettis Fork and Baughman Cr.
