About this map

Upper Blue Licks and Sherburne anchor this survey of the tri-county borderlands where Nicholas, Fleming, and Bath counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Licking River, which is spanned here by both the Sherburne Bridge and the distinctively named The Iron Bridge to the north. Smaller communities like Milltown, Battle Run, and Hill Top are scattered across the higher ground, connected by a network of winding roads such as Pecks Ridge -Tilton Rd and Hillbilly Rd.

Genealogists will find numerous family and community burial sites preserved, including Log Union Cem, Gilead Cem, and Porter Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses like Flat Run, Threemile Run, and Locust Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that have shaped local settlement and agriculture for generations. The presence of several bridge crossings and the convergence of county lines at the river reflect the historical importance of these transit points in the rural Kentucky interior.
