About this map

Orangeburg stands at the center of this rural landscape, where the headwaters of the North Fork Licking River and its various branches, such as Stone Lick Br and Middle Run, carve through the Kentucky hills. This area, located south of Maysville, is characterized by a network of winding roads and scattered settlements that reflect generations of agricultural life. Smaller communities like Plumville, Rectorville, and Somo are connected by historically significant routes including the Old Plainville Pike and Orangeburg Rd.

To the south, Mount Gilead and Poplar Grove mark the transition toward the Fleming County line. Notable landmarks include the Fleming-Mason Airport and the Nash Cem, providing specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The varied terrain is anchored by features like Sycamore Hill and drained by numerous creeks, such as Cabin Creek and Indian Run, which have historically dictated the placement of farms and early transport routes in this portion of Mason County.
