About this map

Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and Daniel Boone National Forest dominate this landscape, where the Big South Fork Cumberland River carves deep through the Cumberland Plateau. The map reveals the industrial and transport history of the region, specifically along the K & T Railroad R.O.W., which connects several small settlements such as Yamacraw, Worley, and Barthell.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through numerous rural burial grounds, including Nancy Grave Cem, Chitwood Cem, and Winchester Cem. The intricate topography is defined by prominent features like Natural Bridge, Bear Knob, and Fish Trap Hill. This survey documents a landscape where traditional Appalachian communities like Co-Operative and Fidelity persist within protected natural lands, linked by a complex network of trails such as the Sheltowee Trace Trail and Kentucky Trail.
