About this map

The Licking River winds through this rural landscape north of Barterville, carving a path through a region defined by its narrow creek valleys and small upland settlements. In the early 21st century, the area remains anchored by community landmarks such as the Masonic Lodge Hall and a network of local roads following historic routes, including the Old Maysville Rd and Buffalo Trace Rd. These corridors connect the hamlets of Piqua and Kentontown, where long-standing heritage is preserved in sites like the Piqua Church Cem and Rosser Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography and history, from the Salt Well near Beaver Cr to the distinctive Jim Berry Iron Bridge and Piqua Bridge. The landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and small hollows, such as Cow Hollow and Poke Wagoner Hill. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds including Bethlehem Cem and Rose Hill Church Cem, documenting generations of residents in this corner of Kentucky.
