2016 Map of Hail

About this map

Lake Cumberland snakes through the northern half of this terrain, its waters following dramatic turns at Barnett Bend and Jasper Bend. Much of the landscape is dominated by the ridges and hollows of the Daniel Boone National Forest, where the topography is defined by features such as Bear Wallow Ridge, Double Tarkin Ridge, and Baby Stocking Ridge. Small settlements and named locations like Hail, Hargis, and Bauer are scattered throughout the region, often situated along the high ground of the ridges or near the numerous creek branches like Beaver Creek and Buck Creek. In the southern reaches, the topography transitions toward the community of Greenwood and the winding course of the Middle Fork. This area, split by the boundary of Pulaski and McCreary Counties, preserves a detailed network of family-named landmarks including John Martin Ridge and Tom Clark Hollow.
