2019 Map of Slaughters

About this map

Slaughters and Manitou serve as focal points for this survey of the Hopkins and Webster county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Deer Cr and the E Fork Deer Cr, which carve through a terrain marked by the Yarbro Hill and the Shake Rag Hills. The mapping reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Prominent sites include Slaughters Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Browder Cem, often located near historical transit routes like the Stagecoach Rd. Smaller settlements such as Veazey and Hanson appear alongside an intricate network of local roads, reflecting the established rural infrastructure of this western Kentucky region.
