About this map

Red Bird Creek winds through this section of Bell County, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and a dense network of named hollows. The small settlement of Beverly sits at the confluence of several mountain roads, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural communities of Gardner, Erose, and Field. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks like Kentucky Ridge and Bell Lookout, while numerous gaps such as Bob Slusher Gap and Chestnut Log Gap indicate the historical routes through this mountain terrain.

Local genealogy and history are preserved in family-named features like Asher Cemetery and Mosley Cove. The complex drainage system, including Stoney Fork, Lawson Creek, and Goose Creek, highlights the natural corridors that have influenced human settlement in the Appalachian foothills for generations. This 2011 survey provides a clear view of the topography before significant modern developments, capturing the enduring isolation and natural boundaries of the region.
