2019 Map of Cannel City

About this map

Cannel City and the surrounding hollows of Morgan Co and Wolfe Co define this detailed survey of the Cumberland Plateau's edge. The landscape is marked by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and small settlements like Helechawa, Nickell, and Grassy Creek that follow the winding paths of Caney Cr and Stacy Fork. The naming of Mining Br near Saints Bottom alludes to the region's industrial ties, while prominent terrain features like Testerman Knob and Pilot Knob provide fixed reference points for the area's intricate topography. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of numerous local burial sites, including Salem Cem, Ferguson Cem, and Morris Cem, many of which are tucked away on ridges like Bob Bolin Ridge. This documentation preserves the footprint of rural Kentucky life, where small post offices and family holdings have long dictated the local geography.
