About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the northern landscape of this region, formed by the winding Cumberland River and its major tributary, Fishing Creek. The map documents a rural river valley transition, where the rising waters have reshaped the topography around settlements like Frazer and Bronston. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and gaps, including Long Ridge and Doublehead Gap, which dictate the local road patterns of KY 90 and KY 1619.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as the Hutchinson Cem, Dugger Cem, and Taylor Cem. These small cemeteries, often located near country churches like Oak Grove Ch and Alexander Chapel, provide a detailed record of the rural population during the late 1970s. The map also captures local infrastructure including the Boss Airport and various boat ramps serving the lake.
