About this map

Paint Lick and its surrounding countryside in Garrard County are defined by a network of winding waterways and family burial grounds in this 2010 topographic record. The landscape is structured by the courses of Paint Lick Creek, White Lick Creek, and Harmons Lick, which cut through the terrain near prominent landmarks like Button Lick Knob and Graveyard Hill. Settlement is clustered in small communities such as Cartersville, Manse, Point Leavell, and Lowell, many connected by roads that trace old transportation corridors, such as Old Railroad Grade Rd.

For the genealogist, this map is a detailed inventory of local family and community history, preserving the locations of numerous burial sites. These include the Stringtown Cemetery, Hoskins Cemetery, Collett Cemetery, and the Robinson Cemetery on the eastern edge. The abundance of these small cemeteries, often situated on high ground or near creek bends, offers a clear picture of the rural burial traditions and ancestral footprint of this central Kentucky region.
