About this map

Sharpsburg serves as the central hub for this portion of the Bluegrass region, where the boundaries of Nicholas, Bourbon, Montgomery, and Bath Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hinkston Creek and its many tributaries, including Peytons Lick Br and Somerset Cr. This modern survey reveals a dense network of country roads named for the early families and destinations they connected, such as Rogers Mill Rd, Peck Pike, and Van Thompson Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the farmland, from the Crown Hill Cem near the center of town to the Jewell Cem and Carter Cem to the north. Smaller settlements like East Union and Judy anchor the outlying areas, while the Smith Chapel Church and its accompanying Smith Chapel Cem provide a look at the enduring community centers of this rural Kentucky interior.
