About this map

The Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area dominates this Scott County landscape, centered on the winding Big South Fork Cumberland River. The river forms a deep valley around Big Island and is fed by numerous drainages including No Business Cr and Parch Corn Cr. Local family history is preserved at the Terry Cem and Watson Cemetery located near Hatfield Ridge.

High points like Gobblers Knob and the Twin Arches define the terrain, which is further shaped by the Daniel Boone National Forest along the Tennessee-Kentucky border. An extensive network of paths, such as the John Muir Trail and the Kentucky Trail, facilitates movement across the ridges. This map documents a modern protected wilderness where the remnants of former settlements are still marked by family cemeteries and ancient trails.
