About this map

Dover serves as the focal point for this landscape along the banks of Lake Barkley, where the Sidney C Lewis Highway Bridge crosses the water. The terrain south of the river is a dense network of ridges and hollows, often bearing family names such as Dunaway Hollow, Orchard Hollow, and Cook Hollow. This topography creates a complex web of drainage including the West Fork Lick Cr and Long Cr systems.

Evidence of the region's rural character is found in the numerous named springs, such as Bufford Spring near Fairground Pond and Guinea Jim Spring to the south. Small settlements like Bear Spring and Carlisle sit on the eastern edge, while the Dover Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on Pulley Hill. The map detail preserves local geography at the headwaters of North Fork Leatherwood Cr and North Cross Cr.
