About this map

The community of Stricklett sits along the winding waters of Kinniconick Cr in a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. This modern survey illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of northern Kentucky, where small hamlets like Crum and Petersville are connected by a network of winding branch roads and creek-side paths. The map reveals the intricate drainage system feeding into the main creek, including Indian Cr, Briery Cr, and Elk Lick Br.

Family history is deeply embedded in the terrain, with several small burial grounds such as McEldowney Cem and Henderson Cem located on high ground above the watercourses. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes a section of the Daniel Boone National Forest, featuring the long-distance Sheltowee Trace Trl. Distinctive landmarks like The Black Stairs and named topographical features such as Siam Hollow and Buck Lick Ridge highlight the local nomenclature used by generations to navigate this complex geography where Lewis, Fleming, and Rowan counties meet.
