About this map

The Licking River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, crossed by the Licking River Bridge and fed by numerous tributaries including Fishrap Br and Fox Run. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads following the branching creek valleys and ridgelines of Nicholas County. Small rural hubs serve as the primary landmarks, including the settlements of Moorefield, Myers, Weston, and Sprout.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through sites like the Locust Grove Church Cem, which sits centrally among the winding paths of Locust Grove Rd. The landscape is etched by many named waterways such as Somerset Cr, Cassidy Creek, and Brushy Fork, illustrating the traditional agricultural and topographic structure of this part of Kentucky near the borders of Fleming and Bath Counties.
