About this map

The crossroads of Faubush and Burnetta anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Kentucky, where a complex network of ridges and hollows dictates the pattern of local travel. To the south, the settlements of Norfleet, Naomi, and Vinnie sit amidst a terrain defined by watercourses like Faubush Cr and Bee Lick Cr. Family history is deeply etched into the topography through features such as Harrison Knob, Barker Knob, and Old Brown Knob, alongside numerous family-named roads including Combest Ln and McDaniel Rd.

Transportation corridors like the Cumberland Pkwy E cut across the northern ridges, including Newhope Ridge and Tick Ridge, contrasting with the winding local routes that follow the natural drainage of Wolf Cr and White Oak Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including the Black Ridge Cemetery, Gaines Cemetery, and Tarter Cemetery, which remain key landmarks in this tightly-knit community.
