About this map

Cumberland Mountain and the Log Mountains define this section of the Kentucky and Tennessee border, where the Clear Fork river carves a path through the steep terrain. The landscape is dotted with several small communities that grew up along the L & N railroad line, including Eagan, Clairfield, and Pruden. These settlements are closely tied to the topography, situated in narrow valleys like Rogerston Hollow and Patterson Hollow.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as the King Cem near King Hollow and the Partin Cem in Blue Hollow. The presence of roads like Rosey Creek Rd and Tackett Creek Rd indicates the localized network of travel between the hollows and mountain gaps. In the northeast, the community of Fonde sits near the state line, while Hamlin Town and Kidwell occupy central positions along the valley corridors.
