About this map

The South Fork Cumberland River carves a deep, winding path through this mid-century landscape on the Kentucky-Tennessee border. This wilderness corridor is defined by its dramatic ridges and isolated valley settlements, where public lands like the Cumberland National Forest and Scott State Forest dominate the terrain. Evidence of local life is found in small pockets of culture, notably near No Business Sch and the Slavens Cem, marking the quiet social centers of a dispersed upland community.
