About this map

The Nolin River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Grayson, Hardin, and Hart counties, defining the character of this mid-century landscape. The central settlement of Millerstown sits at a strategic bend in the river, surrounded by a network of rural communities such as Pearman, Royal, and Broad Ford. These hamlets are anchored by local landmarks like Broad Ford Ch and Little Flock Ch, reflecting the generational social fabric of the Kentucky countryside.

Substantial changes to the terrain are evident in the southern portion of the map, where the Nolin Lake reservoir and the Nolin Lake State Wildlife Management Area represent significant land-use shifts. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive features such as Buzzard Ridge and Fox Den Hill. Family history researchers can find several small burial grounds, including Carbytown Cem and Phillips Cem, which provide localized data points for genealogical study along the river's many forks and valleys.
