2010 Map of Pellville

About this map

Blackford Creek and its many tributaries, including Caney Creek and Horse Fork, define the drainage patterns of this rural Kentucky landscape. Small agricultural hubs and historic named settlements are scattered throughout the region, with Pellville at the southern edge and Utility to the north. These locales are connected by a dense network of country roads, such as Middle Knottsville Rd and Lewisport-Utility Rd, reflecting a long history of local travel between family farmsteads. Cultural landmarks like Schafer Memorial Camp and rural burial grounds including Chambers Cemetery and Powers Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists. The geography is characterized by named rises and hollows, such as Indian Hill and Bates Hollow, which shaped the placement of early homesteads and the winding paths of the thoroughfares.
