About this map

Simpson Ridge and the winding drainages of Fork Lick Cr define this landscape in Grant County, where traditional rural settlements like Mason and Blanchet are bisected by the modern Interstate 75 corridor. The map reveals an intricate network of family and community history through its high density of small burial grounds, including the Sheriff Cem, Clark Cem, and Anness Cem. These sites, often situated at the ends of winding lanes like Dark Region Rd or Stone School House Rd, point to the area's deep-rooted agrarian heritage.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Corinth Lake positioned near the southern boundary and numerous tributaries such as Musselman Cr and Shinkle Cr carving through the terrain. The transition between old and new is visible where Old Hwy 36 parallels newer thoroughfares, connecting the scattered hamlets of Heekin, Cherry Grove, and Stringtown. Local landmarks like Camp Northward and Saint Marys Cem serve as enduring focal points for the surrounding rural population.
