2019 Map of Bee Spring

About this map

The Mammoth Cave National Park boundary anchors the southeast corner of this Edmonson County landscape, where the Nolin River winds past Dismal Rock and the settlement of Kyrock. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, with family-named hollows and landmarks like Crowder Mtn and Little Mtn shaping the rural character. Small communities and crossroads such as Bee Spring, Sunfish, and Sadler are connected by a web of winding roads that follow the high ground between drainages like Bear Cr and Sunfish Cr. Genealogists will find a significant number of documented burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Hack Oller Cemetery, Miesel Cemetery, and Duvall Cemetery, which reflect the long-standing family settlements in this part of Kentucky near the Grayson County line.
