2019 Map of Parksville

About this map

Mitchellsburg and Parksville serve as central points in this landscape where the Boyle County and Casey County line traverses a dense network of ridges and hollows. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Mitchellsburg Knob, Parksville Knob, and Hungry Neck Hill, while the North Rolling Fork and Chaplin River drain the surrounding valley floors. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including the Whitehouse Cem, Vaught Cem, and Southerland Cem, many located near old crossroads and small settlements like Forkland and Butchertown. Unique landmarks such as Hungry Neck Bridge and Sign Post Bottom reflect the local nomenclature of this rural Kentucky region, while gaps in the ridgeline like Kings Gap indicate historical passage points between the county's high ground and the watercourses below.
