About this map

La Center serves as a central hub in this western Kentucky landscape, where the grid of the town is bordered by the winding course of Humphrey Cr and its associated Humphrey Slough. The region is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks, reflecting generations of rural settlement. To the east, the community of Kevil sits near the intersection of several local routes, including Clarkline Rd E and Peyton Rd.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the high density of small family burial grounds scattered throughout the township. Researchers can identify the locations of the Terrell Cem, Criswell Cem, and Jenkins Cem to the west, while the eastern reaches contain the O'Donely Cem and Hook Cem. Water features like Little Humphrey Cr and Shawnee Cr drain the agricultural lands between the smaller hamlets of Hinkleville, Slater, and Ingleside.
