About this map

The E Fork Barren River winds through this rural landscape in Monroe County, defining a region where small unincorporated communities like Cyclone, Rockbridge, and Persimmon serve as local hubs. This territory is marked by deep hollows and creek beds, including Piercy Hollow and the waters of Skaggs Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as Wade Cem, Mosier Cem, and Dubre Cem. The road network provides evidence of historical community infrastructure through labels like Bray School Rd and Sand Lick Church Rd, reflecting the importance of local institutions in this part of Kentucky. The map also delineates the meeting of multiple county lines, showing where Barren and Monroe counties converge amidst a terrain of branching tributaries like Nobob Cr and Marrowbone Cr.
