2011 Map of Evarts

About this map

The Clover Fork Cumberland River winds through a dense network of valley settlements, defining the social and industrial layout of this Appalachian corridor. During the early twenty-first century, the landscape remains anchored by towns like Evarts, Kenvir, and Verda, which follow the narrow lowlands between steep ridges. The abundance of family and community burial grounds, such as Middleton Cemetery, Rainbow Cemetery, and Pope Cemetery, provides significant data for genealogists tracing generations of local residents. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Little Black Lookout Tower and Sugarcamp Knob, while smaller hollows and branches like Cutshin Hollow and Bear Branch illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that historically dictated road placement and homesteading in Harlan County.
