About this map

Brodhead serves as the central hub of this Rockcastle County landscape, where the Dix River winds through a terrain defined by prominent elevations such as Millers Knob and Indian Knob. The settlement pattern reflects deep-rooted local history, with smaller communities like Gum Sulphur, Hamilton Valley, and Turkeytown connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the natural ridgelines and creek beds.

Genealogical researchers will find several family and community burial grounds documented, including the Negro Creek Cemetery, Wilmot Cemetery, Brock Cemetery, and Old Moss Cemetery. The hydrology of the area is particularly intricate, with numerous named waterways such as Copper Creek, Tarkin Branch, and Fuzzy Duck Br feeding into the larger river system. This survey documents the rural character of the region, from the heights of Bowling Ridge to the lowlands along the many winding branches and forks.
