About this map

Kentucky River bottomlands and the ridges of Estill County define this topographical study, which highlights a network of small settlements and family burial grounds. The community of Old Landing sits along the river's bend, connected to the uplands by Old Landing Ridge. Further north, Fitchburg and Cobhill anchor a landscape of deep hollows and narrow ridges, such as Wild Flower Ridge and Watson Ridge. The map provides a detailed view of local genealogy through numerous family plots including Vanderpool Cemetery, Howell Cemetery, and Smyth Cemetery.

High points like Cobb Hill and the Bear Track Lookout Tower provide vantage points over the drainage basins of Millers Creek and Big Sinking Creek. This 2011 edition documents the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the winding path of Mountain Springs Rd to small clusters at Crystal and Patsey, preserving the location of local landmarks like the Coal Cemetery and Mount Sinai Cemetery for researchers and historians.
