2016 Map of Independence

About this map

Independence and its surrounding northern Kentucky communities are defined by a network of winding creeks and ridge-top developments. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate local geography of Kenton County, where Banklick Creek and its many tributaries, including Brushy Fork and Fowler Cr, carve through the landscape. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for numerous community burial grounds, such as Independence Cem, Saint Cecilias Cem, and the Cruises Creek Baptist Church Cem. The transition from the suburban clusters of Covington and Florence in the north to the more open settlements of Nicholson and Staffordsburg in the south is clearly visible. Notable local landmarks like the Caintuckee Airport and the distinctively named White Tower further characterize this region's modern layout.
