About this map

Jacktown anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Big S Fork. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and knobs, including Bald Knob, Turkey Pen Knob, and Button Knob, where the Button Knob Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural Kentucky topography shaped by deeply etched drainage patterns from creeks like Traverse Cr, McAnelly Br, and Robinson Cr.

Genealogists will find numerous family-named burial grounds throughout the area, such as Wayman Cem, Weatherford Cem, and Shreve Cem. These sites, often located on elevated ground or near old road junctions like Merrimac Rd and Scuffle Creek Rd, provide a window into the settlement patterns of the local community. Other distinctive geographical features include Stacy Falls and the broad Griffith Ridge, reflecting a landscape where land use is closely tied to the natural elevation.
