2019 Map of Fount

About this map

Fount and Girdler anchor this Knox County landscape, where the headwaters of Hammons Fork and Callebs Creek carve deep into the plateau. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, connected by routes like KY 1304 and the Cumberland Gap Parkway. Dozens of family burial grounds, including the Pittman Cemetery and Asher Cemetery, are tucked into the hillsides above the creek branches, reflecting generations of local lineage in this part of Kentucky. The terrain is defined by prominent high points and passes such as Clinch Knob, Willis Knob, and Hammons Gap. At the southern edge, the map documents the transition toward Heidrick and Bimble along the more open corridor of Fighting Creek, showing the relationship between these dispersed rural communities and the natural drainages like Dozier Branch and Valentine Branch.
