About this map

Small rural hamlets and an extensive network of family cemeteries define this pocket of Grant County at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Settlement is anchored by Mason, Blanchet, and Cordova, with smaller clusters at Heekin and Hilltop. The landscape is heavily dissected by the winding waters of Fork Lick Creek and Musselman Creek, while Simpson Ridge provides prominent elevation in the northwest.

Genealogists will find this particular survey invaluable for its high density of recorded burial sites, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Sheriff Cemetery, and Brewsaugh Cemetery. The map also captures the local significance of Camp Northward and the transition of transit from the legacy paths of Old Hwy 36 and Sipple Mason Pike to the modern arterial route that bisects the terrain. The eastern edge, near Stringtown, shows the persistent rural character of the region as it transitions toward the neighboring hills.
