About this map

The Barren River meanders across this rural Warren County landscape, joined by major tributaries like Drakes Cr and Bays Fork. The settlement pattern is defined by small, unincorporated communities linked by a network of winding local roads, with Hardcastle, Polkville, and Gotts serving as primary local hubs. These clusters of homesteads and small intersections reflect the enduring agricultural character of the region south of Bowling Green.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the terrain. Rural burial sites including Kimbrough Cem, Petty Cem, Thomas Cem, and Gilmore Cem are meticulously preserved on this survey, alongside numerous family roads like Ben Thomas Rd and Carl Jordan Rd, which help pin the locations of ancestral homesteads to specific bends in the river or creek valleys.
