About this map

Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area and the Daniel Boone National Forest converge on this map, representing a landscape defined by its complex topography and preserved wilderness. The terrain is a network of ridges like Hatfield Ridge and Chestnut Ridge, separated by deep drainage systems such as Station Camp Cr and Parch Corn Cr. The Big South Fork Cumberland River winds through the center, notably around Big Island, serving as the primary geological force of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate remote family sites such as Terry Cem and Slavens Cem, tucked away from the main thoroughfares. A dense network of hiking and pack trails, including the Sheltowee Trace Trl and various segments of the John Muir Trail, traces the old routes through the Tennessee and Kentucky borderlands. Distinctive landmarks like Twin Arches and Gobblers Knob provide specific points of reference within this densely forested landscape.
