About this map

Eastern Kentucky University and the Madison County Courthouse anchor the northern landscape of this Madison County region, where the urban character of Richmond gives way to a network of rural settlements and winding creek valleys. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Silver Creek and its tributaries like Old Town Branch and Ballard Branch, which carve through the undulating topography south of Embry Hill.

A series of small, historic communities including Peytontown, Caleast, Duncanon, and Whites are connected by a web of traditional pikes and mill roads, such as Hagan Mill Road and Peytontown Road. This area serves as a vital corridor between the larger hubs, punctuated by the Central Kentucky Regional Airport and several significant burial grounds, including the Haines Cemetery and Cochran Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogical research in central Kentucky.
