2019 Map of Stanford

About this map

Stanford serves as the central hub of this 2019 survey, situated where the rolling hills of the Bluegrass region meet the headwaters of Saint Asaph Cr. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage patterns, with Hanging Fork Creek and the Dix River carving through the terrain. Evidence of the area's deep-rooted settlement is found in the distribution of family-named cemeteries such as Blackerby Cem, McCormack Cem, and Sutton Cem. Smaller communities like Hubble, Logantown, and Rowland are linked by a network of rural roads, including Old Stanford Rd and Old Danville Rd, reflecting a transportation system that evolved from historic turnpikes. The transition between Boyle and Lincoln Counties is clearly marked, illustrating how geographic features like Bulls Br helped delineate political boundaries.
