2016 Map of Mackville

About this map

Mackville and Pottsville anchor this 2016 survey of the central Kentucky landscape where Washington, Mercer, Boyle, and Marion Counties meet. The map reveals a highly dissected terrain defined by the drainage of Beech Fork and Long Lick Cr, with narrow ridge roads connecting small farming settlements. Notable for genealogists is the high density of small family-named burial grounds, such as Mc Mullin Cem, Holderman Cem, and Young Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The settlement at Texas sits at the intersection of Perryville Rd and Texas Loop Rd, illustrating the rural transportation network that has defined the region for generations. A clear boundary line marks the transitions between counties, following natural features like Deep Cr and established survey lines across the upland ridges.
