About this map

The Licking River carves a deep valley through this corner of Northern Kentucky, where the boundaries of Nicholas, Harrison, and Robertson Counties converge. This agricultural landscape is defined by its ridge-top settlements and winding country roads that follow the serpentine contours of the terrain. Small hamlets like Kentontown and Piqua serve as local anchors, while the strangely named Barefoot and Barterville sit further south among the hills.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small cemeteries and rural houses of worship, including Bethlehem Cem, Salt Well Cem, and the Rose Hill Church. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive points like Poke Wagoner Hill and divided by numerous watercourses such as Cedar Cr and Johnson Cr. This modern survey documents the persistent settlement patterns of rural Bluegrass country, where many family names are preserved in the labels of the winding pikes and hollows.
