2013 Map of Mannsville

About this map

Mannsville sits at the northern edge of this Adair County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations including Gaddis Ridge, Bass Ridge, and Hovious Ridge. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Christie Chapel Cem and Jones Chapel Cem, which are often located near the winding headwaters of Stoner Cr and Casey Cr. Small hamlets like Speck and Feathersburg serve as local crossroads within a network of ridges and hollows. The drainage systems, including Robinson Cr and Mill Cr, dictate the placement of roads and homesteads, illustrating how the natural topography has historically shaped development in this portion of south-central Kentucky.
