Lake Cumberland dominates the northern reaches of this region, where the Pulaski and Wayne county lines meet amidst a landscape defined by deep hollows and high ridges. The community of Burnside sits near the confluence of the lake's northern arms, while Frazer and Bronston serve as centers for the local rural population. This area is rich in sites of genealogical and cultural significance, including the Chief Doublehead's Grave near Doublehead Gap and dozens of family-named burial grounds like Stiggall Cem and Barker Family Cem. The terrain's complexity is revealed in the names of its numerous natural features, from the Fishing Creek Shoals to the narrow passage at Peach Orchard Gap. Transport and local commerce are represented by the Boss Airport and the J S Hardwick Bridge, which crosses Cedar Sinking Creek near the settlement of Kidder.
