About this map

Oddville and the surrounding rural hamlets of Harrison County occupy this landscape defined by the winding Licking River and its intricate drainage network. The area’s agrarian character is evident in the cluster of small settlements including Venus, Morning Glory, and Buena Vista, which are linked by a dense web of local pikes and ridges.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Harding Cem near the river and Republican Church Cem in the central uplands. The terrain is deeply dissected by waterways like Beaver Cr and Brushy Fork, dictating the winding paths of historical routes like Hardins Ferry Rd and Salem Pike. This survey documents a traditional Kentucky landscape where small-scale communities remain anchored to the topography of the Bluegrass region.
