2011 Map of Coopersville

About this map

Keeton Mountain and the Pine Knobs stand over a landscape defined by the winding paths of Sinking Creek and its many tributaries. This 2011 survey of the southern Kentucky uplands reveals a settlement pattern of small, ridge-top communities such as Gregory, Pueblo, and Coopersville, often centered around family names and historical farmsteads. The terrain is marked by numerous vertical features, including Sand Cliff, Washing Cliff, and Tabletop Cliff, which suggest a topography of resistant sandstone benches overlooking deep hollows. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Kidd Cemetery in the northeast to the Dobbs Cemetery near the southern border. The road network, including routes like Old Big Sink School Rd and Godsey Cemetery Rd, traces the historical movement of residents between these high-ground settlements and the fertile branches below.
