2019 Map of Sherburne

About this map

The Licking River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Nicholas, Fleming, and Bath Counties, defining the rural character of this Kentucky landscape. At the historic crossing of Sherburne, the Sherburne Bridge connects local travel across the water, while further north The Iron Bridge spans Fleming Creek. The area is marked by long-standing agricultural settlements such as Upper Blue Licks, Milltown, and Battle Run, which are situated among a complex network of ridges including Pecks Ridge. Small family and community burial grounds, such as Log Union Cem, Gilead Cem, and Porter Cem, are scattered across the uplands, offering significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The map illustrates a traditional Kentucky upland pattern where small communities like Hill Top and Olive Branch are linked by winding ridge-top roads and narrow creek valleys.
