About this map

Muldraugh Hill dominates the northwestern landscape of this central Kentucky region, where the drainages of the Rolling Fork and Big Pitman Cr carve through the terrain. Small rural settlements like Jessietown, Finley, and Spurlington are connected by a network of ridge-running roads and hollow-bound tracks. The map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including the Brookman Cem, Colvin Cem, and Saint Francis Cem.

Evidence of the area's social and geographic structure is visible in the placement of these cemeteries and the winding paths of Trace Fork and Little Pitman Cr. Distinctive landforms such as Shingle Knob and Paine Knob rise above the surrounding valleys, while Mill Gap and Dividing Ridge highlight the natural passage points used by early travelers. The presence of Sportsman Club Lake and Coxs Lake indicates local water management and recreation in a landscape defined by its creek-fed bottomlands.
