2010 Map of Cumberland Falls

About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through McCreary County in this 2010 survey, winding past the small settlement of Honeybee. This rugged landscape within the Daniel Boone National Forest is defined by significant elevation changes and natural landmarks, including the Dog Slaughter Falls and the geological formation known as Dry Land Bridge. High-elevation vantage points like the Pinnacle Lookout Tower and Dry Bridge Overlook provide views across Dog Slaughter Ridge and the sharp oxbow of the Blue Bend. Local history is preserved in small family and community sites such as Mariar Cemetery and Ridener Cemetery, while the road network reflects the area's rural development with names like Bear Wallow School Rd and Oak Ridge Church Rd. The map also captures the many small waterways feeding the river, from Eagle Creek to the South Fork Dog Slaughter Creek, illustrating the complex drainage system of this forested plateau.
