About this map

The town of Lancaster serves as the focal point of this region, where the historical Wilderness Rd cuts through the landscape toward the south. This corridor reflects a deep-rooted transportation history, tracing back to early Kentucky settlement routes. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Dix River and its numerous tributaries, including the curiously named Stingy Creek and Gilberts Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial sites. Scattered throughout the countryside are several preserved locations such as Ashlock Cemetery, Goshen Cemetery, and Naylor Cemetery. Small communities like Preachersville and Hyattsville maintain their identity along secondary roads like Fall Lick Rd and Stanford Rd, illustrating the persistent rural settlement patterns of Garrard County.
