2016 Map of La Center
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
La Center serves as a primary hub in this western Kentucky landscape, situated where the local road network converges near the Humphrey Slough and Humphrey Cr. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, such as Criswell Cem, Henderson Cem, and Lockhart Cem, which suggest long-standing family ties to the land across Ballard and McCracken counties. These small settlements and family plots are connected by a web of named rural routes, including Mount Pleasant Church Rd and Joppa Landing Rd, tracing the historical movement between small farming communities like Hinkleville and Slater. The drainage patterns of Little Humphrey Cr and Valley Cr define the local topography, influencing the placement of early homesteads and the various community centers that remain today.
