About this map

Paint Lick and the surrounding landscapes of Garrard, Madison, and Lincoln counties are defined by a complex network of knobs and hollows. The terrain transitions from the lowlands of Paint Lick Creek to prominent heights like Button Lick Knob and Steve Knob. A legacy of early transit is preserved in the path of the Old Railroad Grade Rd, which winds through the northern portion of the map near Lowell and Manse.

Family history is deeply embedded in this landscape, with numerous burial sites scattered across the ridges. Genealogists can locate the Carpenter Cem, Stringtown Cem, and Hoskins Cem, among others, often situated near old farm roads like Walker Pike and Harmons Lick Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Hamilton Valley and the distinctive pass at Narrow Gap, while Cartersville Airport provides a modern navigational reference point near the settlement of Cartersville.
