2016 Map of Morehead

About this map

Morehead serves as the focal point of this Eastern Kentucky landscape, where the campus of Morehead State University sits nestled against the wooded slopes of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding course of Triplett Creek, which draws together smaller settlements like Clearfield and Brady. The survey reveals a region deeply marked by its local heritage, evidenced by dozens of family-named burial grounds including the Armstrong Family plot and Coffey-Riddle Cemetery. To the west and south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex around landmarks such as Limestone Knob, Amburgy Rocks, and Clack Mountain. For those following the Sheltowee Trace NRT, the map details the trail's path as it transitions from the forest ridges into the valley corridors, passing through neighborhoods like Rodburn and Christy.
