2019 Map of Hail

About this map

Buck Creek carves a deep, winding path through the northern landscape of this region, creating dramatic oxbows like Barnett Bend and Jasper Bend. Much of the area is protected within the Daniel Boone National Forest, where the topography is defined by narrow, finger-like ridges including Double Tarkin Ridge and Baby Stocking Ridge. Small communities and named crossroads such as Hail, Bauer, and Funston are scattered along the higher ground, often connected by winding forest roads. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks such as John Martin Ridge and Tom Heath Ridge, alongside the Bethel Church near Blue John. The drainage network is dense, with numerous branches like Indian Cave Br and Little Hurricane Fork feeding into larger systems like Beaver Creek.
