About this map

Masonville and Trout Creek serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this northern Delaware County landscape, where the terrain is defined by steep hollows and narrow valley floors. The drainage pattern of Trout Creek and its various tributaries, including W Br Trout Cr and Sherruck Brook, dictates the placement of early roads and homesteads. The presence of several family-named burial grounds, such as the Austin Olmsted Cem and Carroll Cem, offers significant detail for genealogical research into the area's rural history.

Conservation areas and public lands are prominent, notably the Mormon Hollow State Land SP-R, which occupies the high ground between Carroll Hollow and Mormon Hollow Road. To the south, the village of Barbourville and Upper Barbourville sit near the confluence of Barbour Brook and E Br Cold Spring Cr, illustrating how these small hamlets evolved around the region's abundant water resources and topographic breaks.
