2013 Map of Morehead

About this map

Morehead and its surrounding communities are defined by the winding valley of Triplett Creek, where urban development transitions into the steep ridges and hollows of Rowan County. This 2013 survey highlights the significant institutional footprint of the Morehead State University Farm and the distinct neighborhoods of Clearfield, Rodburn, and Christy. The landscape is a intricate network of family history and terrain, marked by numerous small burial sites like the Armstrong Family plot and Johnson Coffee Cemetery. High points such as Clack Mountain and Limestone Knob overlook the valley, while the Triangle Lookout Tower and the iconic Little Bell Tower serve as local landmarks. The drainage patterns of Morgan Fork and North Fork Triplett Creek illustrate how the geography dictated the settlement roads and the placement of communities within the deeply carved hollows like Rodburn Hollow and Rockwall Hollow.
