About this map

The Cumberland River forms a wide meander at Davis Bend, anchoring a landscape defined by the intricate creek systems and hollows of eastern Kentucky. This area, recorded in 2010, shows a network of established settlements such as Artemus, Flat Lick, and East Jellico, many of which grew around the river and regional road corridors. The local geography is heavily punctuated by family and community history, evidenced by more than twenty named burial grounds including Evergreen Cemetery, Morris Cemetery, and the Tinsley Cemetery.

High points like the Mud Creek Lookout Tower overlook a terrain carved by Stinking Creek and Fighting Creek. Cultural landmarks such as the Old Flat Lick Post Office and local thoroughfares like Poke Salad Rd and Mills Cemetery Rd reflect the deeply rooted social fabric of Knox County. From the industrial echoes at Haults Flats to the residential clusters at Boone Heights, the map documents a community defined by its proximity to the water and the narrow valleys between its ridges.
