About this map

Lake Cumberland and the Cumberland River dominate the northern landscape of this Wayne and Pulaski County borderland. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Frazer, Hardwick, and Betsey are tucked away from the river’s edge. The 1970s landscape shows the impact of the reservoir on local geography, with former creek beds submerged and boat ramps established near the Pulaski Co Wayne Co line.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the numerous small burial grounds, including the John Simpson Cem, Stigall Cem, and Hardwick Cem. Local industry and transit are represented by the Boss Airport and the presence of Highway 90. The area around Sullens Gap and Sulphur Ridge remains largely rural, characterized by scattered churches like Oak Grove Ch and New Salem Ch that served these isolated ridge communities.
