2022 Map of Shopville

About this map

Buck Creek and its many tributaries, including Clifty Cr and Brushy Cr, define the drainage patterns of this eastern Kentucky landscape near the border of Rockcastle and Pulaski counties. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent knobs and ridges, such as Plato Knob, Fellowship Knob, and Logan Ridge, interspersed with deeply cut hollows like Opossum Strut Hollow and Wildcat Hollow. Small communities and named locales including Shopville, Stab, Dahl, and Plato are connected by a network of local routes like London Rd and State Hwy 1003. The map is particularly notable for its dense concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Childress Cem, Bobbitt Cem, and the Randell - Herrin Cem, which provide significant genealogical touchpoints across the rural countryside near the Daniel Boone National Forest.
