About this map

Barbourville serves as the focal point of this Knox County region, where the Knox County Courthouse and Union College anchor the town at the junction of Richland Cr and the Cumberland River. The river winds through the terrain, creating significant landforms like Mackey Bend and passing by Swan Lake. To the west and south, the landscape is defined by numerous hollows and gaps, including Engle Hollow and Logan Gap, which dictate the paths of local roads such as Granny Rose Hollow Rd and Wynn Hollow Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds and small settlements throughout the hills. Small communities like Permon and Dishman Springs appear alongside dozens of marked cemeteries, including the Vaughn McNeil Cem, Faulkner Cem, and Killian Cem. The southern edge marks the boundary between Knox Co and Whitley Co near Gausdale, while the CSX Transportation line provides the primary rail corridor through the valley.
