About this map

Whippoorwill Cr meanders through the heart of this landscape along the Todd Co Logan Co border, anchoring a series of rural communities and family homesteads. The terrain is defined by its small crossroads settlements, including Gordonsville, Daysville, and Old Volney, which serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural land. In the southern reach, the community of Olmstead sits at the junction of several local routes near the Logan County line.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Bennett Cem, Currence Cem, and Russell Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Mason Spring and the drainage of Duck Lick Cr, provide essential geographic markers for researchers tracing early Kentucky land tracts. The road network, including the E Jeff Davis Hwy, links these disparate settlements across a landscape of diverse hydrography, from Dry Br to the winding path of Vicks Br.
