2016 Map of Mason

About this map

Williamstown and Corinth anchor the northern and southern reaches of this Grant County landscape, where the ridge-and-valley topography of central Kentucky dictates the placement of long-standing family settlements and cemeteries. The modern corridor of the interstate cuts through the center, paralleling older routes like S Main and Mason Rd, yet the surrounding hills remain dotted with dozens of small burial grounds that speak to the area's deep genealogical roots. From Sheriff Cem near Simpson Ridge to Brewsaugh Cem on the Harrison County line, these sites preserve the names of the families who farmed the land between Clarks Cr and the various forks of Fork Lick Cr. Corinth Lake and Odors Bottom illustrate the varied drainage patterns of a region defined by its narrow hollows and high points like Coopertown Hill.
