About this map

Troublesome Creek winds through this Knott County landscape, serving as the central drainage for a network of hollows and gaps that define the local geography. Small settlements and mountain communities such as Fisty, Emmalena, and Bearville are connected by roads that follow the winding paths of Balls Fork and Beech Creek. The map reveals a dense distribution of family burial grounds, including the Adam Terry Cemetery and Combs Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogists tracking the roots of eastern Kentucky families.

At Carrie, the Carrie Post Office stands as a local landmark near the junction of several branches, while Camp Nathanial is situated along Swiftshoal Branch. The terrain is marked by distinctive names like Meadowbrook Hollow, Rough Hollow, and Ash Bee Tree Gap, reflecting the traditional naming conventions of the region. These features, along with the numerous creeks and forks, illustrate the complex topography of the Cumberland Plateau during the early 21st century.
