About this map

Bumpus Mills and the surrounding reaches of Lake Barkley define this portion of Stewart County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Hargis Hollow and Walker Ridge, which channel numerous tributaries like Saline Cr and Hayes Fork Cr toward the main reservoir. These geographical features dictated the placement of small rural communities and family-named roads, including Big Rock and Chestnut Grove.

A significant portion of the southern area is occupied by a National Wildlife Refuge, protecting Dover Island and the wetlands around Pool Two. The map reflects a rural economy and settlement pattern established over generations, where locations like Melton Spring and New Haven serve as points of interest along the winding paths of Tobaccoport Rd and Old Lafayette Rd. The topography remains a primary influence on the road network, which navigates around elevated points like Robinson Hill and through depressions like Joiner Hollow.
