About this map

Goddard Covered Bridge stands as a focal point in the northwest corner of this Fleming County landscape, where the settlement of Goddard meets the winding waters of Sand Lick Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow hollows and high ridges like Pea Ridge and Sand Mtn, creating a topography that historically dictated the placement of small communities and family cemeteries. In the eastern portion, the Daniel Boone National Forest blankets the hills near the Rowan County line, preserving the wooded character of the region.

Local history is deeply rooted in the namesake mills of the area, including Plummers Mill and Muses Mills. These sites, along with Plummers Landing, highlight the importance of water power and small-scale industry in the valley of Fox Creek. Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds scattered across the map, such as the Hurst Cem, Newman Cem, and Jackson Family Cem, many situated on the plateaus of Maxey Flats or tucked into quiet hollows like Evans Hollow.
