About this map

The Kentucky River carves a deep, winding path through this central Kentucky landscape, serving as the primary geographic anchor for small communities and agricultural ridges. Settlement patterns follow the high ground and river access, with historic nodes like Valley View, Logana, and Cuzick dotting the uplands. Near the southern edge of the sheet, Freindship Cemetery offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories in this rural corridor.

Transport history is etched into the terrain through a network of ridge roads and river crossings, including Carvers Ferry Rd and Hunters Ferry Rd. The topography is defined by the drainage systems of Tate Creek, Silver Creek, and Hickman Creek as they descend toward the river gorge. These natural features, alongside named landforms like Poosey Ridge and Jolly Ridge, illustrate the traditional rural character of the region before the expansion of more modern infrastructure.
