2019 Map of Ano

About this map

The Rockcastle River carves a deep, winding course through the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest, defining the rugged border between Pulaski and Laurel Counties. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of dramatic river bends and narrow ridges, such as The Narrows and The Loop, where the waterway creates tight horseshoe turns. Small settlements like Ano and Goodwater are situated on the higher elevations, connected by a network of rural roads and ridges including Parkey Ridge and Rockcastle Springs Ridge. Genealogists will find several family burial sites throughout the terrain, including Chaney Cem near the northern boundary and Garrison Cem further south. The topography is defined by intricate drainage systems, with numerous hollows and branches like Salt Log Hollow and Stillhouse Br feeding into the larger creek networks.
