2013 Map of Burnside

About this map

Lake Cumberland and the Big S Fork Cumberland River dominate this terrain, carving a series of dramatic bends and hollows into the Pulaski County landscape. The town of Burnside sits at the northern edge, where the reservoir expands, while smaller settlements like Tateville, Sloans Valley, and Alpine follow the corridor of Highway 27 to the south. The map documents a landscape defined by its complex topography, where named features like Sweet Lily Ridge and Seed Tick Knob rise above deep drainage systems like McKee Hollow and Dead Ox Hollow. For the local historian, the map preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including Cave Springs Cem, Hollers Cem, and Gibson Cem. The presence of the Woodson Bend Resort and Bóss Airport reflects the area's development as a destination for recreation and transport amidst the natural ridges of the Cumberland plateau.
