2019 Map of Kent

About this map

The border of Jefferson and Scott Counties defines the western edge of this landscape, where the settlements of Kent, Swanville, and Chelsea are connected by a network of rural roads. Numerous burial grounds are documented here, including Kent Cem, Blankenship Cem, and Slippery Point Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses, with Big Spring Cr and Ramsey Creek flowing toward the east, while the W Fork Fourteenmile Cr drains the southern reaches. Near the county line, the presence of Wilkerson's Airport and the dammed waters of Arthur S Kingman Lake indicate twentieth-century land use shifts alongside traditional agricultural holdings and the established town of Lexington.
