2013 Map of Bell Farm

About this map

Bell Farm and the settlement of Griffin anchor this landscape of the Daniel Boone National Forest region in the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Rigney Gregory Cem and Denny Farm Cem, indicating generations of deep-rooted kinship in the hollows. Distinctive river crossings like Bawley Ford and Denney Ford suggest the enduring importance of traditional water access points in an area defined by steep terrain and narrow valleys. Significant geological features, including The Mill Cliff and The Pilot, provide a clear picture of the limestone and sandstone outcrops that shape the local drainage patterns of Johnson Fork and Wolf Cr. The presence of the Bell Farm Horse Camp and Great Meadow Campground reflects the shift toward recreational land use while preserving the names of the original farming families.
