About this map

The Cane Ridge Meetinghouse stands as a focal point in the northwest corner of this mid-century survey, a site of significant religious history in Bourbon County. This landscape is defined by the winding course of Hinkston Creek, which serves as a natural boundary between Bourbon and Nicholas counties. The map captures a detailed view of the rural Bluegrass region, where narrow roads like Harrods Road connect small settlements such as Little Rock and Jackstown.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites and landmarks, including the Edward Boone Grave and the Hayden-Young Cem. These small family cemeteries, scattered across the hills near Plum Creek and Boone Creek, reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the area. To the south, the town of North Middletown is shown with its street grid and several small cemeteries, such as Bethel Cem, marking the intersection of local commerce and community life.
