About this map

The Licking River winds through this central Kentucky landscape, carving a path between the small crossroads settlements of Kentontown, Piqua, and Ellisville. This 2010 topographic record captures a predominantly agricultural region defined by a dense network of creek branches, including Johnson Creek, Crooked Creek, and the many forks of Sugar Creek. Family roots and local history are anchored by landmarks like the Bethlehem Cemetery and Salt Well Cemetery, reflecting the area's long-established rural community.

Interesting geological and historical markers are visible in the southern reaches, where the named Salt Well sits near the headwaters of Beaver Creek. The map details a transition from river bottoms to upland ridges, connected by old thoroughfares such as Thomas Pike and Old Maysville Rd, which link the southern village of Barterville to its neighbors. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of Painter Creek and Turkey Run as they define the local topography.
