About this map

Mount Olivet serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Kentucky landscape, where the town grid meets a network of ridge roads and deep drainage valleys. The winding North Fork Licking River carves a complex path across the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Salt Lick and Panther Cr. The map's high concentration of family and community burial sites, including the Old Corinth Cem, New Corinth Church Cem, and Fosters Chapel Cem, provides a detailed record of the region's rural genealogy.

Small crossroad settlements such as Hittville, Bratton, and Bridgeville are connected by a dense lattice of local routes like Old Pinhook Rd and Kabler Mill Rd. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Brierly Ridge and Blueberry Ridge, which separate the various runs and branches feeding into the river. This documentation captures the area's transition between agricultural uplands and the river-carved lowlands near the Bracken Co and Robertson Co line.
