About this map

The West Fork Clarks River valley defines the character of this western Kentucky landscape, where small rural communities like Brewers and Oak Level are linked by a network of local roads and the modern corridor of the Purchase Pkwy. The area is marked by numerous water sources and topographic rises, including Potato Hill and Danner Hill, alongside springs such as Stillhouse Spring and Hale Spring.

Genealogists can find several family-named burial grounds and roads, such as Styers Cemetery, Cole Cemetery, and Gore Cemetery, which are accessible via routes like Gibson Cemetery Rd and Wallers Cemetery Rd. The naming of features like Stillhouse Branch and Stillhouse Hill suggests a history of local distilling, while the branching creek system, including Soldier Creek and Duncan Creek, illustrates the complex drainage pattern feeding into the Clarks River system.
