2022 Map of Burnside

About this map

Burnside sits at the northern edge of this map where the Big South Fork Cumberland River meets the expansive waters of Lake Cumberland. The landscape is defined by dramatic river bends including Antioch Bend, Williams Bend, and Roberts Bend, which carve through the dense timber of the Daniel Boone National Forest. These river loops created isolated plateaus and ridges like Lewis Ridge and Sweet Lily Ridge, where smaller communities such as Tateville, Keno, and Sloans Valley are established. Local history is deeply embedded in the terrain, evidenced by numerous family and community burial sites such as the Old Tateville Cem, Jacob Mayfield Cem, and Old Grave Hill Cem. The southern portion of the sheet shows the transition from Pulaski County into McCreary and Wayne Counties, with the winding Big South Fork Trl following the rugged watercourse.
