About this map

Licking River meanders through this portion of eastern Kentucky, carving a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The settlement pattern follows the narrow creek valleys, with communities like White Oak and Lykins established where branches meet the main watercourses. This 2010 survey serves as a vital resource for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous family-named burial grounds across the terrain, including the Andrew Jackson Patton Cemetery, Patrick and Lovely Cemetery, and the Saul Howard Cemetery on Ditney Ridge.

The presence of the Piedmont Post Office and small clusters of homes at Bethanna, Edna, and Kernie reflect the enduring rural character of the region. Road networks such as Old Elam Rd and Pricy Creek Rd trace the contours of the land, connecting isolated homesteads to larger valley settlements. From the heights of Jeff Lewis Hill to the bends of Rockhouse Creek, the map preserves the intricate place-names of a community rooted in its hills.
