2019 Map of Haldeman

About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest covers a significant portion of this Rowan County landscape, where the topography is defined by narrow hollows and numerous creek branches. Small, named settlements such as Haldeman, Elliottville, and Hays Crossing serve as hubs for a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural roads. The area's complex drainage is evidenced by Triplett Creek and Christy Creek, which are fed by dozens of tributaries like Bearskin Hollow and Parker Hollow. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the specific naming of burial sites, including the Abbott-Sturgill Cem, W B Hall Cem, and Sparks Cemetery One. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of eastern Kentucky, where geographic identity is still deeply tied to family lineages and small creek valleys like Mocabee Creek.
