About this map

The Red River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Wolfe, Morgan, and Menifee counties, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and narrow hollows. In the southern portion of the sheet, the Red Wild And Scenic River designation highlights the corridor's ecological importance. Small communities like Hazel Green and Stillwater are situated along the valley floors, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the contours of the land, such as State Hwy 1010.

For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating family-named burial grounds. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered across the uplands, including Pieratt Cem, Osborne Family Cem, and Day Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements like Murphyfork and Toliver, reflect a long-standing pattern of dispersed mountain settlement where family lineages are deeply tied to specific ridges and branches of the river system.
