About this map

Licking River winds through this section of the Bluegrass region, marking the natural boundary between Robertson, Harrison, and Nicholas counties. The landscape is defined by its deep creek valleys and prominent rises like Hoovers Ridge and Poke Wagoner Hill, where narrow ridges separate the drainage of Cedar Creek and Pointer Creek. This rural network is anchored by small, long-established communities such as Kenton-town and Barterville, connected by winding routes like Maysville Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Jim Berry Iron Bridge over the river to numerous historic burial sites. Many of these, including Bethlehem Cemetery and Salt Well Cemetery, are situated near crossroads that have served as local hubs for generations. The distribution of Rose Hill Church and the Needmore Church complexes highlights the importance of these church-centered hamlets in the area's social history.
