2019 Map of Sardis

About this map

Sardis and the surrounding borderlands of Bracken, Mason, and Robertson counties are defined by the winding course of the N Fork Licking River. This 2019 survey captures a landscape of high ridges and deep creek hollows, where local life follows the contours of the terrain along historical routes like Three Lick Pike and Old Sardis Pike. Small settlements such as Abigail and Shannon serve as anchor points for rural residency, while family-named roads and landmarks like Middleton Hill reflect generations of local history. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with dozens of named branches such as Panther Cr, Two Lick Cr, and Blue Lick Cr feeding into the river system. This modern topographic study preserves the naming conventions and land divisions of this Kentucky interior before further development or consolidation.
