About this map

The Ohio River forms the northern boundary of this Kentucky landscape, where the small riverfront settlement of Weston and the historical site of Fords Ferry reflect the region's long relationship with waterborne transit. Moving inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, including Cottonpatch Ridge, Pigpen Hollow, and Big Spring Hollow. The southern portion of the map transitions into the communities of Mattoon and Repton, connected by a web of local roads named for early families and landmarks, such as Monroe Butler Rd and Pickering Hill Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of small burial grounds across the countryside, such as Green Chapel Cem, Lamb Cem, and Duval Cem. Geological and archaeological interest is anchored by Obie Mound near the river and the distinctive karst features of The Sinks in the southwest. The landscape's rugged character is further evidenced by landmarks like The Pinnacle and Turkey Knob, which overlook the winding course of Crooked Cr as it makes its way toward the Ohio.
