About this map

The rolling landscape of north-central Kentucky is defined here by the headwaters of several key drainage systems, including the Little Kentucky River, Harrods Creek, and the North Fork of Floyds Fork. This 2016 survey captures the transition between the urban periphery of La Grange and the more dispersed rural settlements of Smithfield, Jericho, and Sligo. The map details a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Hendronsville Cem, Kerlin Cem, and Smith Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research in this region.

Modern infrastructure, including the Interstate 71 corridor, cuts diagonally across a landscape dotted with localized landmarks like Jake's Field and Lake Jericho. The settlement pattern follows the established road network, with smaller communities like Tarascon and Pendleton situated along these historic transit lines. This edition serves as a precise record of land use and water features, from the banks of Berry Cr to the developed residential areas surrounding Crystal Lake and Land N Lake.
