About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the winding river channel creates dramatic loops at Barnett Bend and Jasper Bend. The area is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, where small settlements like Hail and Hargis serve as local landmarks. The southern portion of the quadrangle is deeply etched by the Beaver Creek drainage system, featuring notable elevation points such as Grapevine Ridge and Grassy Gap Ridge.

Evidence of local industry and recreation is scattered throughout the terrain, from a Mine near Double Tarkin Ridge to established sites like Little Lick Campground and the Three Forks of Beaver Overlook. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the names of numerous family-linked landmarks, including Ferguson Hollow, Tom Clark Hollow, and John Martin Ridge, reflecting the long-standing community ties to these specific Kentucky landforms.
