2013 Map of Kelat

About this map

The Licking River and its major tributaries dictate the rural landscape of this Pendleton County region. Small communities such as McKinneysburg, Antioch, and Kelat serve as historic anchor points within a network of country roads named for local families and landmarks, including Colvins Bnd and Moonshine Hollow. The terrain is characterized by the complex drainage systems of Snake Lick Cr and Richland Cr, the latter being crossed by the Richland Creek Bridge. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Old Mt. Vernon Cem near the river's path. The southern portion of the map is bounded by the S Fork Licking River, illustrating how the bifurcating river system shaped the early settlement patterns and transport corridors of this part of northern Kentucky.
