2010 Map of Ready

About this map

Ready and the surrounding rural communities of Grayson County are defined by a complex drainage system feeding into Big Reedy Creek. At the time of this 2010 survey, the landscape was largely agricultural and wooded, marked by scattered family settlements like Windyville, Nash, and Lee. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several well-established burial grounds, including the Preston Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and multiple locations of Woosley Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by its numerous small waterways and named hollows, such as Woodbury Hollow and Rowe Hollow, which have long dictated the path of local roads like Ready Jackson Rd and Beech Grove Rd. The map illustrates a modern snapshot of a classic Kentucky rural landscape where the placement of homes and farmsteads follows the contours of the West Fork Big Reedy Creek and Sunfish Creek.
