2016 Map of Sulphur Well

About this map

Sulphur Well and the surrounding Metcalfe County landscape are defined by the winding course of the South Fork Little Barren River and its numerous tributaries. This 2016 survey illustrates a rural Kentucky region marked by scattered crossroads settlements like Knob Lick, Savoyard, and Beechville. The mapping of small water features such as Big Blue Spring, Ten Acre Br, and Sulphur Cr provides insight into the local hydrology that historically supported these farming communities. Genealogists may find value in the precise locations of the Buck Hill Cem and Nunn Cem, which sit alongside an extensive network of named local routes, including Ratliff Mitchell Rd and McCandless Coomer Rd. The map also documents smaller locales like New Liberty and Echo, preserving the spatial relationship between family-named roads and the natural drainage basins of White Oak Cr and Dry Fork Cr.
