About this map

Richland Creek and its many tributaries carve a dense network of valleys through this portion of Knox County, defining the settlement patterns of the early 21st century. Narrow hollows such as Booger Hollow and California Hollow are named for the families and landmarks that shaped this landscape. The transition from agricultural valley floors to upland ridges is marked by peaks like Kirby Mtn and Gillam Knob.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in small family and community burial grounds, including Scott Chapel Cem, Tuggle Cem, and Jarvis Cem. The map documents the layout of small communities like Emanuel and Arkle, which are connected by a web of local roads such as Arkle Rd and Poplar Branch-Arkle Rd. Along the southern edge, the growth of Barbourville and Heidrick reflects the regional importance of the Richland Creek corridor.
