2013 Map of Bernstadt

About this map

Bernstadt serves as a focal point in this southern Kentucky landscape, situated amidst a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The central geography is dominated by Wood Creek Lake, a sprawling reservoir fed by Wood Wood Cr and Jones Fork. This 2013 survey illustrates the rugged topography of the Daniel Boone National Forest region, where the Rockcastle River and Little Rockcastle River carve through the terrain. Evidence of the area's transportation engineering is visible in the series of sequential tunnels, from Tunnel Number 6 to Tunnel Number 9, which pierce the high ground near Arthur Ridge and Johnson Ridge. To the north, the settlement of Hazel Patch marks a historic transit point near the confluence of Hazel Patch Cr and the river. The map also documents numerous family-named hollows and branches, such as Begley Hollow, Philpot Hollow, and Billy Br, providing valuable spatial context for local genealogical research and land use history.
