About this map

The Licking River and South Fork Licking River frame a dissected landscape along the Pendleton Co Harrison Co border. Small rural communities like Kelat and Antioch anchor a network of ridge roads and creek-bottom passages, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local hydrology. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific family-named sites such as the Old Mount Vernon Cem, which sits near the winding course of the river.

Tracing the numerous tributaries like Snake Lick Cr, Richland Cr, and Mud Lick Br reveals the intricate drainage system of this part of Kentucky. The map also documents many named local routes, including McKinneysburg Rd leading to the settlement of McKinneysburg, and curious topographic features like Moonshine Hollow. This detailed view of the countryside shows the persistence of small-scale agriculture and land use in the hills north of Cynthiana.
