2016 Map of Summer Shade

About this map

Edmonton anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of the S Fork Little Barren River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, including Miner Hollow and Graven Hill. In the southwest, the community of Summer Shade sits at a crossroads, while the small settlements of Randolph and Goodluck are connected by a web of rural routes. The map records several small family or community burial sites, marked simply as Cem, scattered across the undulating countryside. The area shows modern residential developments like Clay Lick Acres and Bridgewater Hts, illustrating how the county seat of Metcalfe County has expanded beyond its traditional center. Numerous watercourses, such as Falling Timber Cr and Clay Lick Cr, carve through the land, dictating the placement of historic farmsteads and modern roads alike.
