2010 Map of La Center

About this map

La Center serves as a focal point for this section of Ballard County, where the landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Humphrey Creek and Hinkle Creek. The rural character of the area is heavily marked by small-scale family and community burial sites, including the Terrell Cemetery, Newton Cemetery, and Hook Cemetery, which provide significant touchstones for genealogical research in the region. To the east, Kevil sits at the edge of the sheet, while smaller historic nodes like Hinkleville and Slater illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of western Kentucky. The terrain is largely agricultural, punctuated by numerous small water bodies and the Dam Number 3-A on a tributary of Little Humphrey Creek. The grid of local roads, such as Hinkleville Rd and Ceredo Rd, connects these scattered settlements across the undulating countryside.
