About this map

The crossroads of Temple Hill and Eighty Eight anchor this detailed study of Barren County, where a complex network of creeks and ridges defines the rural landscape. The terrain is deeply incised by Falling Timber Creek and its many tributaries, such as Bailey Br and Brushy Fork, creating a geographic pattern that has historically dictated road placement and property lines. In the northern reaches, the settlement of Kino and the waters of Swannigan Cr mark the transition toward the Beaver Creek drainage system.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family-named landmarks and resting places. Small community cemeteries, including Peers Cem, Groce Cem, and Peden Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, often situated near secondary routes like Groce Cemetery Rd. The modern presence of the Louie B Nunn-Cumberland Parkway contrasts with the traditional rural character of areas near Creek Side Landing and the winding course of Glover Creek.
