About this map

Leesburg and the surrounding farmland of central Kentucky sit at the intersection of Scott, Harrison, and Bourbon Counties in this mid-century topographic survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Eagle Creek and its many tributaries, such as Straight Fork and Little Mill Creek. Small settlements like Oxford and Davis serve as local anchors, connected by a network of rural roads that bypass the steeper hills for the creek bottoms.

Religious and community life is centered around several country churches, including Beards Ch, Gilead Ch, and Silas Ch. Notable local landmarks such as Muddy Ford and the settlement of Lees Lick indicate historical crossing points and gathering spots before more modern infrastructure emerged. The distribution of Cem and the Sharon Cem offer researchers specific points of interest for genealogical study within this classic Bluegrass region setting.
