2016 Map of Sardis

About this map

Sardis sits at the convergence of several winding country roads where Bracken, Mason, and Robertson counties meet. This rural landscape is defined by the sinuous path of the N Fork Licking River, which carves through the undulating topography alongside numerous smaller waterways like Two Lick Cr and Shannon Cr. The settlement patterns here follow the ridges and hollows, with small hubs like Abigail and Shannon connected by historic routes including the Three Lick Pike. Geographic landmarks such as Ogden Ridge and Middleton Hill provide natural elevation markers in an area characterized by dispersed farmsteads and agricultural land. The intricate network of family-named roads, from Pumpelly Ln to Henson Ridge Rd, reflects a long history of local land ownership and the persistence of traditional rural boundary lines in this part of Kentucky.
