About this map

The Licking River winds through this 2016 survey of eastern Kentucky, carving a complex landscape of hollows and ridges south of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Centered on the seat of Morgan County, the map details the town of West Liberty and its surrounding rural hamlets. The geography is defined by a dense network of named branches and creeks, such as Lucky Branch Rd and Straight Creek Rd, which dictate the placement of roads and homesteads.

Genealogists will find interest in the numerous family-named landmarks and small settlements including Zag, Yocum, Twentysix, and Index. High ground is marked by prominent elevations like McClannahan Hill and Wells Hill, while local infrastructure is anchored by the West Liberty Airport. This digital era survey provides a precise look at the modern road network, from named county routes like Lucky Cemetery Rd to local lanes in Neal Valley, illustrating how contemporary transport follows the ancient contours of the Licking River valley.
