About this map

The town of Salem serves as the focal point for this survey of Livingston County, Kentucky, showcasing a landscape defined by small rural hubs and a network of named springs and creek branches. Agricultural and residential patterns are evident near settlements like Sheridan, Levias, and New Salem, while the terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Hardin Knob and the Eberle Knobs. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds including Salem Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and Love Cem.

Water sources are central to the geography here, with Crittenden Spring and Crodson Spring appearing alongside a complex system of drainage including Coefield Cr and Hurricane Cr. The presence of the Memphis Prospect Area in the northeast suggests the region's geological and mineral interests. This 2013 edition preserves the precise layout of local thoroughfares like Deer Creek Church Rd and Holly Mines Rd, reflecting the modern rural infrastructure of western Kentucky.
