About this map

Upper Blue Licks and the surrounding Licking River valley define this rural landscape in Nicholas County. The river carves a winding path through the region, bridged by notable structures such as The Iron Bridge to the north and the Sherburne Bridge further south. Small settlements like Sherburne, South Sherburne, and Milltown are linked by a network of local routes including Dixie Hwy and Plank Run.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Log Union Cem, Gilead Cem, and Porter Cem. The map documents a traditional Kentucky landscape of ridges and runs, where place names like Pecks Ridge, Battle Run, and Olive Branch reflect local family history and geographic identifiers. Historic crossing points like the Licking River Ford near the confluence with Locust Cr highlight the historical importance of the river for local transport and connectivity.
