About this map

The N Fork Licking River carves through the heart of this Morgan County landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Daniel Boone National Forest meets established rural settlements. Small communities such as Wrigley, Leisure, and Blaze are connected by winding forest roads and state highways that follow the natural contours of ridges like Jones Ridge and Alderson Ridge. The map is particularly dense with family cemeteries, including the Kidd Family Cem, Thornsberry Cem, and Questenberry Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Industrial and geographical landmarks like Winding Stairs and Adkins Curve highlight the complex navigation of the local hollows, such as Deer Lick Hollow and Black Cave Hollow. Historically significant sites like Blairs Mills and Wyatt sit near the county boundaries of Rowan and Elliott, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns in the headwaters of the Craney Creek and Fulton Fork drainage systems.
