About this map

Sadieville serves as a focal point in this portion of the Kentucky Bluegrass, situated where the Southern railroad line follows the winding valley of Eagle Creek. This 1965 survey, updated with 1970s photorevisions, reveals a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek hollows, with small settlements like Hinton and Stonewall perched along the high ground. The rail corridor is a primary artery for the region, accompanied by a Gaging Station and Water Tank near the tracks in Sadieville.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous family and community sites, such as New Friendship Cem and Ecklers Cem. The rugged geography is further detailed by drainage systems including Rays Fork, Pokeberry Creek, and Elk Lick Branch, which dictate the placement of rural roads and historical church sites like Zion Hill Ch. To the north, Corinth Lake and the town of Corinth sit near the triple border of Scott, Grant, and Harrison counties.
