About this map

Barbourville serves as the focal point for this Knox County landscape, where Richland Cr meets the winding Cumberland River. The town's grid extends toward Apple Grove and Providence, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and family-named landmarks. The mapping detail reveals a rural society built around the river's bends, such as Mackey Bend, and the gaps between ridges like Logan Gap and Mossy Gap.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous family burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the uniquely named Adam and Eve Cem, Smith Hicks Cem, and Fuson Cem. Small settlements like Dishman Springs and Swanpond highlight the historical distribution of the population near water sources like Swan Lake and Dishman Springs Lake, offering a precise look at the 2013 footprint of these established Kentucky communities.
