2019 Map of Bell Farm

About this map

Rockybranch and the surrounding hollows of Wayne Co and McCreary Co are defined by a complex geography of ridges and steep cliffs within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The landscape is dotted with family-named burial sites, including the David L Crownshed Grave and the Carl Kidd Graveyard, reflecting deep ancestral ties to these secluded valleys. Waterways like the Little South Fork and Rock Cr carve through the terrain, passing landmarks such as The Chimney, The Pilot, and Middle Cliff. This 2019 survey shows the modern footprint of settlements like Griffin and Bell Farm, where narrow roads like Steele Hollow Rd and Parmleyville Rd follow the natural contours of the Cumberland Plateau. The southern portion of the map includes part of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, preserving the character of the river-cut gorges.
