2013 Map of Beverly

About this map

Red Bird Cr and Phillips Fork define the drainage of this mountainous corner of Bell County, where small settlements like Beverly and Gardner occupy the narrow valley floors. The landscape is a dense network of hollows and gaps, reflecting a long history of topographic names such as Mill Hollow, Witch Hollow, and Bear Wallow Hollow. High points like Kentucky Ridge and the Bell Lookout provide vantage points over the creek systems. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Asher Cem and various gaps that historically served as passage between the steep ridges, including Slusher Gap, Paint Gap, and Turkeypen Gap. The map captures a contemporary look at these established communities, where state and local roads like State Hwy 2467 and Pigeon Fork Rd follow the natural contours of the stream beds.
