About this map

Lake Cumberland defines the southern reaches of this landscape, where the rising waters of the reservoir meet a network of steep hollows and narrow ridges. The settlement of Eli sits centrally on a high plateau, serving as a hub for local routes like Reid/Hart Rd and Harristown Rd. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Puncheon Camp Cr and Goose Cr in the north, while the south is characterized by numerous family-named landmarks including Gosser Ridge, Parks Ridge, and Ono Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of small communities like Honey Acre, Salem, and Whittle during the early 21st century. The map preserves the names of smaller geographic features such as Graveyard Hollow and Rock Lick Hollow, providing a detailed look at the rural character of Russell County before modern development patterns fully altered these traditional upland neighborhoods.
