About this map

The Red River flows through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, which is marked by the meeting of Morgan, Menifee, and Wolfe counties. The central community of Hazel Green serves as a focal point, situated at the junction of several drainage basins including Lacy Cr and the Red River. This area is characterized by a high density of family-named cemeteries and rural settlements, such as Maytown, Trent, and Stillwater, which are connected by a complex network of winding hollow roads like Logan Back Rd and Stamper Branch Rd.

Genealogists can find numerous burial sites throughout the terrain, including Flat Rock Cem, Peiratt Cem, and Murphy Fork Cem. The topography is defined by narrow ridges and deep valleys, or hollows, such as Gibbs Hollow, with small creeks like Swango Fork and Blackwater Cr carving through the plateau. Landmarks like Spradling Bridge and the designated Red Wild and Scenic River corridor highlight the importance of these waterways to the region's geography and history.
