2019 Map of Lodiburg

About this map

Union Star and Lodiburg serve as central hubs in this landscape of the Pennyroyal Plateau, where the headwaters of Yellowbank Creek and Sinking Creek carve deep into the Kentucky limestone. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Prather Hollow and Bruner Ridge, which have historically dictated the winding path of local transit. Numerous family-named routes such as Dutschke Mill Ln, Jake Horsley Rd, and Seaton Hanks Rd reflect a long-standing pattern of rural landownership and family farmsteads. Local genealogy is well-preserved through several small burial sites, including Shellman Cem, Bruner Cem, and Jolly Cem. Small communities like Ammons, Frymire, and Sample are linked by these narrow backroads, showing a settlement pattern that remains largely tied to the topography of the many creek branches like Lick Run and Sugar Tree Run.
