About this map

Ravenscroft and De Rossett anchor this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the headwaters of Clifty Cr and Doe Cr have carved deep coves into the high terrain. The landscape is defined by these sharp transitions between the upland flats and the low-lying basins of Geer Cove and Blue Spring Cove. Historic settlements like Bon Air and Clarktown are situated along the primary ridgelines, while smaller communities such as Stringtown and Mobra occupy the southern reaches near Chestnut Mtn.

Tracing the rural road network reveals the region's development pattern, with names like Coal Bank Rd hinting at the area's industrial past. Numerous family and community burial sites, including McKinney Cem and Lost Creek Cem, provide significant landmarks for genealogical research. The presence of several impounded waters, such as Billy Branch Lake and Wonder Lake, illustrates the modern management of the area's extensive creek systems.
