2022 Map of Johnetta

About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses the center of this terrain where the border of Jackson and Rockcastle counties winds through a network of creeks and ridges. The settlement pattern here is dictated by the drainage of Horse Lick Creek and its tributaries, including Limestone Branch and Sugar Cane Branch. Genealogists will find several burial grounds such as Johnetta Cemetery and the King and Clark Cemetery near the community of Climax. The map also preserves the locations of local crossroads and hamlets like Threelinks, Goochland, and Johnetta, along with the Johnson School. These named points illustrate a rural Kentucky landscape defined by small-scale agriculture and forest management, connected by winding routes like Three Links Road and Rice School Road.
