About this map

The Licking River carves a winding path through the northern reaches of the Bluegrass region, serving as a natural boundary for Nicholas, Fleming, and Bath counties. This 2022 survey captures a landscape defined by its river-valley topography and small upland settlements like Sherburne and Upper Blue Licks. The distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Log Union Cem and Porter Cem, reflects a persistent rural settlement pattern where life historically centered on the ridge roads and creek bottoms.

Upland communities including Pecks Ridge, Olive Branch, and Hill Top are connected by a network of local roads like Pecks Ridge-Tilton Rd and Mt Sterling Rd. Waterways such as Fleming Creek and Locust Creek feed into the primary river system, while locations like Milltown and Concord mark the historic intersections of transit and terrain. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of these traditional Kentucky crossroads and their surrounding rural acreage.
