About this map

Muldraugh Hill and its dramatic ridges dominate the northern landscape of this region, providing a rugged backdrop to the small farming communities and family settlements of Taylor and Marion counties. In the rural valleys between Shingle Knob and Paine Knob, local life is centered around junctions like Jessietown, Finley, and Spurlington. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including Big Pitman Cr and Rolling Fork, which have historically shaped the development of transport and agriculture in the area.

Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Saint Francis Cem, Rafferty Cem, and Feather Cem. These cemeteries, often located on private lands or along winding rural lanes like Livers Ln and Minnie Brown Rd, offer a window into the generations who settled the knobs and hollows. The southern edge of the map transitions toward the urban expansion of Campbellsville, where Sportsman Club Lake serves as a prominent local landmark.
