About this map

Lake Cumberland defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the water winds through sharp turns at Barnett Bend, Jasper Bend, and Stringer Bend. The terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of branches and forks, including Beaver Cr, Lick Fork, and Freeman Fork, creating a series of prominent ridges such as Pond Ridge and Bear Wallow Ridge. Small settlements and named locales like Hail, Bauer, and Funston are linked by a web of local roads that navigate the complex topography of hollows and flats.

Evidence of recreational and local use is visible through sites like Little Blue Campground and Shelter Campground. The southern portion of the map transitions toward Greenwood, where the geography opens into areas like Hickory Flat and Middle Ridge. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the rural McCreary County corridor, documenting family-named landmarks such as John Martin Ridge and Tom Heath Ridge that speak to the local genealogy of the region.
