2019 Map of West Liberty

About this map

West Liberty serves as the focal point of this Morgan County landscape, situated along the winding banks of the Licking River. The region is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small rural settlements like Zag, Yocum, and Woodsbend, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure in eastern Kentucky. To the west, the boundaries of the Daniel Boone National Forest encompass topographic landmarks such as McClannahan Hill and Daisy Knob. The map details an intricate system of creeks and branches, including Caney Cr, Greasy Cr, and Elk Fork, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. Modern infrastructure is represented by the West Liberty Airport southeast of the main town, while numerous small burial grounds like Cottle Cem, Oakley Cem, and Potter Cem provide significant data points for genealogical research into the area's prominent local families.
