About this map

The South Fork Cumberland River carves through the southeast corner of this Kentucky landscape, defining the border between Wayne and McCreary counties. Much of the region is protected within the Cumberland National Forest, where the topography is marked by significant cliffs such as Tabletop Cliff, Betts Cliff, and Denney Cliff. Scattered settlements like Coopersville and Pueblo serve as local hubs, connected by winding routes like KY 92.

Resource extraction and community life are well-documented on this survey. Numerous Oil Wells are scattered through Broiles Hollow and Shiloh Creek. The importance of local genealogy is evident in the many family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including the Kidds Crossing PO, Big Sinking Sch, and several combined church and school sites like Dry Fork Sch & Ch. This mid-century view preserves the locations of numerous small cemeteries such as Gregory Cem and Dobbs Cem.
