2019 Map of Madisonville East

About this map

Madisonville serves as the primary hub of this landscape, where urban density transitions into the coal-rich creek bottoms of the western Kentucky coalfield. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Pond River and its various tributaries, including Flat Creek and Drakes Creek. Outside the city center, smaller communities such as Grapevine, Barnsley, and Mortons Gap are situated along the transportation corridors that move south toward the county line. This 2019 survey documents the modern infrastructure of the region, including the Madisonville Regional Airport and the network of rural roads like Pond River-Collieries Road that hint at the area's industrial history. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites recorded, such as Hicklin Cemetery near Anton and the Flat Creek Cemetery, which offer fixed points of reference for local family histories.
