2010 Map of Galen

About this map

Underwood and Salt Lick anchor a landscape defined by deeply incised drainages and a dense network of country roads along the Tennessee-Kentucky border. The terrain is characterized by numerous hollows, including Bradley Hollow and Ellis Hollow, where small family-named landmarks suggest long-standing community ties. Genealogists will find this map particularly useful for its high concentration of family burial grounds. Notable sites like the Frog Pond-Friendship Cemetery, John Brandon Cemetery, and Elias McDonald Cemetery are clearly marked. The hydrological network is dominated by the Long Fork and the White Oak Creek, which dictate the local topography. This early 21st-century survey reflects the persistent rural character of the region, where transportation routes like Antioch Rd and Liberty Rd continue to follow the natural contours of the ridges and valleys.
