About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through this portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest, defining the rugged border between McCreary and Whitley counties. The landscape is characterized by steep ridges and numerous named branches and creeks, such as Eagle Cr and Jellico Creek, which drain into the main river channel. Local history is anchored by the small settlement of Honeybee and institutional sites like the Rock Branch School, which serve as landmarks in this heavily forested terrain.

Notable geological and water features include Dog Slaughter Falls and the Dry Land Bridge, illustrating the complex topography of the region. Genealogical interest is found at the Mariar Cem and Ridener Cem, tucked away near high points like Dog Slaughter Ridge. Navigation through the forest is documented by routes such as Bearwallow Rd and Sego Road, which provide access to the various shoals and bends along the river.
