About this map

Whippoorwill Creek and its many tributaries, such as Vicks Branch and Garnett Branch, carve a complex drainage pattern across this section of southern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by the Todd County and Logan County line, where small agricultural settlements like Daysville and Gordonsville serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogical interest is high throughout the area, with numerous family burial sites including Lee Cemetery, Browder Cemetery, and Currence Cemetery situated near old homesteads.

Transportation routes like Russellville Road and Elkton Road provide the primary east-west connectivity through the rolling terrain. The presence of Old Volney and Olmstead in the southeastern corner suggests a long-standing settlement pattern centered on the fertile lands between these small communities. Features such as Mason Spring indicate the essential water sources that originally dictated the placement of early farms and crossroads like Crossroad.
