2016 Map of Polkville

About this map

The Barren River snakes through the center of this rural Kentucky landscape, defining the character of small unincorporated communities like Gotts, Hardcastle, and Polkville. The terrain is marked by the winding river valley and its tributary, Bays Fork, which forms part of the southern boundary between Warren and Allen Counties. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several family-named burial sites including Kimbrough Cem, Petty Cem, Thomas Cem, and Gilmore Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's early settlement patterns. Scattered homes and farmsteads are connected by a network of local routes such as Hunts Bend Rd and Iron Bridge Rd, the latter leading to the landmark Iron Bridge. The layout of Greenhill and Motley in the south further illustrates the persistent rural density that characterizes this portion of the Bowling Green region.
