About this map

Morehead serves as the central hub of this Eastern Kentucky landscape, situated along the banks of Triplett Creek. The town is defined by its educational and civic institutions, including the campus of Morehead State University and the Rowan County Judicial Center. Surrounding the city, the topography transitions into the protected timberlands of the Daniel Boone National Forest, where steep ridges and hollows like Rockwall Hollow and Cincinnati Hollow dictate the local road network.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, from Pine Hill Cem near the town center to more remote sites like Gray Seamonds Cem and Eldridge Cem Two. Smaller settlements such as Clearfield, Rodburn, and Lakeview Heights illustrate the residential expansion away from the municipal core. Landmark features like Amburgy Rocks and Clack Mtn stand out as prominent navigational points within the heavily forested and dissected plateau.
