About this map

Rough River Lake dominates the central landscape of this western Kentucky region, where the winding fingers of the reservoir meet the rolling terrain of the Breckinridge and Grayson county line. The map highlights a rural network of small communities such as McDaniels, Concord, and Duff, connected by roads tracing the ridges and hollows. Local family history is preserved through numerous burial sites including Lahue Cem, Deweese Cem, and Shain Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural and forested uplands.

Industrial and geographic landmarks like Horn Back Mill and Cobblers Knob provide specific points of interest for those studying the area's development. The drainage of the land is defined by numerous waterways like Short Creek and Isaac Fork, which feed into the primary lake system. This survey illustrates the 21st-century balance between recreational water use and long-established rural settlements, evidenced by place names like Indian Valley and Cannons Point along the lakeshore.
