About this map

Stanton serves as the hub of this Central Kentucky landscape, where the Red River winds eastward toward smaller settlements like Rosslyn and Bowen. The terrain transitions from the developed corridor around the Stanton Interchange to the dense ridges of the southeast, marked by landmarks such as the High Rock Lookout Tower and Hemlock Lodge. These features suggest a region shaped by both its river-bottom agriculture and a growing recreation and forestry economy.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites through several family and community grounds, including Rest Haven Cem, Hatton Creek Cem, and Billings Cem near the southern settlement of Furnace. The map also details early industrial and natural landmarks, from the Buffalo Licks and State Rock to the high elevations of Chop Chestnut Ridge and McKinney Cliff, illustrating the geological complexity of the area.
