About this map

McCreary County and neighboring Wayne County are defined here by the deeply incised drainages of the Little South Fork and the Little South Fork of the Cumberland River. The landscape is a dense network of ridges and hollows, where family history is etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds such as the Grant Roberts Cem, Burke-Kidd Cem, and Carl Kidd Graveyard. Settlements like Rockybranch and Griffin are situated among prominent geological landmarks including The Chimney and The Pilot. This modern survey illustrates how traditional family landholdings and small cemeteries are now preserved within the vast borders of the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
