About this map

Corbin and its surrounding communities in southeastern Kentucky are documented here just as modern transportation corridors like the Corbin Byp reshaped the local landscape. The map details a transition from the dense residential grid of the town center to more rural areas like Dorthae and Hopewell to the north. A significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Resthaven Cemetery, Pine Hill Cemetery, and the McFarland Cemetery, provides a wealth of data for those tracing local lineages.

The presence of Henry Field and the Gray Post Office indicates centers of local commerce and recreation. Waterways such as Lynn Camp Creek and the Laurel River define the natural drainage, while named ridges like Candle Ridge and hollows such as Steel Hollow speak to the traditional nomenclature of the Appalachian foothills. This survey serves as a precise record of the road network connecting established settlements like Woodbine and Wilton before further twenty-first-century development.
