Jeffry Cliff Petroglyphs

Jeffry Cliff Petroglyphs is a prehistoric Native American rock-art site on and around Jeffry Cliff in Hancock County, Kentucky. Spread across about 9 acres, it is a broad archaeological landscape rather than a single carved surface. Indigenous people from the western part of what is now Kentucky created these carvings, which are understood to have served artistic, religious, and engineering purposes. That mix of uses points to a place shaped by both symbolic meaning and practical activity over time. Publicly accessible though not precisely addressed, the site was recognized by the National Park Service on September 8, 1989, as an important preserved record of prehistoric regional life.
