2010 Map of Kirksville

About this map

Kirksville and Cottonburg anchor a Madison County landscape defined by the intricate winding of Paint Lick Creek and its many tributaries. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural environment where local history is preserved in family and community burial grounds, such as Poosey Cemetery in the north and Kinnard Cemetery near the south. The terrain is marked by significant features like Round Hill and Crow Valley, while the road network connects small settlements like Nina, Ruthton, and Hackley. The naming of waterways, including Bogie Branch and Broadus Branch, suggests long-standing family associations with the land. These details, alongside the presence of many dead-end ridges like Nina Ridge Rd and Kelly Ridge Rd, provide an look at how the topography has shaped settlement patterns and road development in this part of Kentucky.
