About this map

Libertyville and the surrounding rural communities of Stanley and Red Oak define the landscape of central Covington County in this early 21st-century study. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and minor tributaries feeding into the Yellow River, which meanders through the southeastern quadrant. Local family and place names are prominent across the landscape, seen in landmarks such as the Yellow River Lookout Tower and crossings like Cravey Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant detail in the placement of several local burial grounds, including Judson Cemetery, Five Runs Cemetery, and Oakey Ridge Cemetery. The area's agricultural and industrial water management is evident through numerous impoundments like Maddox Ponds, Hillcrest Pond, and Cravey Ponds, along with their associated dams. The map also records the location of Elliotts Quarters, reflecting the localized settlement patterns that have persisted alongside established routes like the HWY 55 Cutoff.
