About this map

Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area dominates this Scott County landscape, where the deeply carved gorge of the Big South Fork Cumberland River meets its numerous tributaries. The map reveals a transition from the plateau settlements like Gernt and Zenith to the intricate river system below. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Blevins Cem and the John Litton Farm Hike Loop, marking the legacy of subsistence farming and early families in the region.

The river's power is evident through named features like Washing Machine Rapids and First Drop Rapids, highlighting the waterway's character before it flows toward The Narrows. Significant ridges, including Hurricane Ridge and Groom Ridge, separate the drainage basins of North White Oak Creek and Honey Cr. This 2022 survey details an extensive network of modern trails and forest roads that trace older routes through Logging Hollow and across the Fentress and Scott county line.
