2010 Map of Saint Charles

About this map

Saint Charles sits at the heart of this Western Kentucky landscape, where a transition from earlier mining and rail infrastructure to a modern transportation network is evident. The passage of the Western Kentucky Pkwy bisects the terrain, yet older local arteries like Buttermilk Rd and Suthards Church Rd continue to connect long-established settlements. Small communities such as Hamby and Ilsley are detailed alongside family and community landmarks like Union Temple Cemetery and Gamblin Cemetery, providing valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The region's geography is defined by numerous waterways, including Caney Creek and Copper Creek, which weave through named rises like Cat Hill and the Barnsley Hills. Industrial history is noted at the Ilsley Siding and along Homestead Mine Rd, while bodies of water like Magic Lake and Homestead Lake indicate the significant physical changes to the landscape following local extraction activities.
