2016 Map of Temple Hill

About this map

Temple Hill and the uniquely named Eighty Eight serve as focal points for this rural Barren County landscape, characterized by a dense network of country roads and creek valleys. The terrain is deeply etched by the winding courses of Skaggs Creek and Falling Timber Creek, which gather numerous tributaries like Brushy Fork and Swannigan Cr as they flow westward. The settlement pattern remains primarily agricultural and residential, connected by routes such as Lecta Kino Rd and Bluff Springs Rd that trace the ridgelines between drainage basins. Local heritage is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Peers Cem in the north near Kino and Barbour Cem to the west. To the south, Creek Side Landing marks a point of access along Glover Creek, reflecting the importance of these waterways to the local geography. The northern edge of the map is defined by the high-speed corridor of the Louie B Nunn-Cumberland Parkway, contrasting with the winding local lanes like Witty Rd and Hollis Thomas Rd.
