2022 Map of Alcorn

About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses a large portion of this area where Madison, Estill, and Jackson Counties meet. The landscape is characterized by complex ridge systems like Durham Ridge and isolated high points such as Happy Top Mtn and Zion Mtn. Small settlements are tucked into the valleys and gaps, including Locust Branch and Alcorn. The drainage network is dense, with Red Lick Cr and the South Fork Station Camp Creek carving through the terrain. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, noting family-linked locations and numerous burial sites like Skinner Cem, Barker Cem, and Hade-Rose Cem along the winding hollow roads. These smaller landmarks, alongside features like Turtle Rock and Blanton Flats, provide a clear picture of the rural distribution of homesteads and communities in this part of Kentucky.
