2016 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier and its surrounding countryside in Adair County are defined by a network of creeks and ridges that have shaped local movement for generations. To the north, Burton Ridge and Oak Grove Ridge overlook the valley of Sulphur Creek, while the southern reaches are drained by Russell Creek and its many tributaries like Big Clifty Creek and Cabin Fork Creek. The 2016 landscape preserves historical crossroads and small settlements such as Gentrys Mill, Ozark, and Glens Fork, which remain connected by winding local roads and the prominent corridor of the Cumberland Parkway. Genealogists may find value in the location of Wesley Cemetery near the southern border, while the placement of Tavern Spring and Wildcat Cave Hollow speaks to the natural landmarks and water sources that have long anchored this rural Kentucky community.
