2010 Map of Slaughters

About this map

The community of Slaughters anchors the northeastern corner of this Hopkins County landscape, where the terrain shifts from the lowlands of Deer Creek to the distinct elevations of Yarbro Hill and the Shake Rag Hills. This 2010 survey reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Carmel Cemetery, Utterback Cemetery, and Hobgood Cemetery, which serve as vital markers of the area's genealogical history. The settlement of Veazey sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the map, surrounded by named rural routes like Don Miller Rd and Antioch Church Rd. The drainage network, including Pond Creek and Otter Creek, dictates the winding paths of the local road system, illustrating how the natural topography continues to influence the rural infrastructure of this part of Kentucky long after its initial settlement.
