2016 Map of Parksville

About this map

Mitchellsburg and Parksville serve as central points in this portion of central Kentucky, where the landscape is defined by the drainages of the North Rolling Fork and the Chaplin River. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous hollows and ridges, such as Peach Orchard Ridge and Tennessee Ridge, which have historically dictated the placement of small agricultural settlements and family cemeteries. These burial grounds, including the Chambers Cem, Purdom Cem, and Elder Cem, are scattered across the knobs and valley floors, providing a dense network of genealogical data points. The transition from Boyle Co into Casey Co is marked by significant topographical features like Kings Gap and the rising elevation of Huckleberry Ridge. The map details a complex system of local roads and watercourses like Doctors Fork that continue to shape the rural character of this region.
