About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest defines the southern and eastern reaches of this Wayne County landscape, where the topography transitions into the dramatic cliffs of the Cumberland Plateau. A dense network of family cemeteries, such as the Shade Thompson Cem and Upper Denneys Gap Graveyard, illustrates the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region. The map reveals a land shaped by water and stone, featuring prominent landmarks like Pilot Rock, Keeton Mtn, and the distinctive The Dumpling.

Small communities including Coopersville, Ritner, and Pueblo are connected by winding roads that follow the ridges and hollows. The Little South Fork flows through the southern section, flanked by numerous named cliffs like Betts Cliff and Denney Cliff, indicating the limestone geology that characterizes this part of Kentucky. This modern survey preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including the Cedar Hill Baptist Church Cem, vital for genealogical research in the area.
