About this map

Booneville serves as the focal point of this Owsley County landscape, situated along the winding course of the South Fork Kentucky River. The town is surrounded by numerous small settlements and family-named hollows that speak to the region's deep-rooted community history. Settlements like Levi to the north and Southfork to the south are connected by a network of rural roads such as Winklers Branch Rd and Hilltop Rd.

Geographic landmarks provide a clear picture of the terrain, from the elevation at High Rock Mtn to the distinctive bend at Cawood Bend. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds, including the Pendergrass Cem, McIntosh Cem, and Shepherd Cem. The intricate drainage patterns of Buck Cr, White Oak Cr, and Lower Island Cr define the valleys where these historical communities took shape.
