2019 Map of Tompkinsville

About this map

Tompkinsville serves as the central hub of this Monroe County landscape, situated amidst a dense network of ridges and winding waterways. The topography is defined by the circuitous path of the E Fork Barren River to the north and the numerous drainage systems like Mill Creek and Sulphur Cr that carve through the local terrain. Small outlying settlements such as Forkton, Grandview, and Hestand are connected by a web of rural routes, including Sulphur Lick Rd and Meshack Rd. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant family landmarks and resting places like Oak Hill Cem, Brown Cem, and Hammer Cem. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Tompkinsville-Monroe County Airport, while the community layout of Harlan Crossroads illustrates the traditional junction-based settlement pattern common in southern Kentucky.
