2019 Map of La Center

About this map

La Center serves as the primary hub in this western Kentucky landscape, situated near the headwaters of Humphrey Slough and Humphrey Cr. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Hill Cem, Antioch Cem, and Terrell Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in Ballard County. Small settlements like Hinkleville and Slater anchor the southern reaches, while Ingleside and Woodville mark the northern and eastern fringes near the McCracken County line. The terrain is defined by a network of creeks, including Shawnee Cr and Little Humphrey Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Bandana Rd and Paducah Rd. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous church-affiliated sites like Mount Pleasant Cem continue to serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural community.
