About this map

The city of Lebanon serves as the focal point for this Marion County landscape, showing the expansion of residential and commercial development toward the Colgans Hill area. Outside the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of ridges and drainage basins, including the rugged Turkey Pen Hollow and Rogue Hollow. Waterways like Cartwright Cr and the Rolling Fork define the movement of the land, while local landmarks such as Putnam Knob and The Narrows provide clear geographic markers for the surrounding countryside.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, including the Ryder Cem near the city and more remote locations like Saint Ivos Cem and Tatum Cem near the small community of Penick. This documentation of modern road networks and older geographic features provides a clear view of how rural Kentucky life centers around established settlements and the natural waterways that carved this territory, such as Milk and Mush Cr and Caney Cr.
