About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates this 2010 topographical landscape, with its dendritic fingers reaching deep into the ridges of Wayne and Russell Counties. The Cumberland River valley is characterized by high, narrow ridges such as Ono Ridge, Denny Ridge, and Cave Springs Ridge, where small communities and family cemeteries have persisted for generations. Settlements like Jabez, Ono, and Eadsville are connected by winding country roads that follow the high ground, while the water's edge is marked by recreation and conservation sites including Camp Earl Wallace and Indian Hills.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Military Cemetery and Norfleet Cemetery near the lake's central reaches to the Walters Cemetery and Hatfield Cemetery further east. The map records a complex network of named hollows and points, such as Mill Hollow and Ramsey Point, illustrating how the impoundment of the river transformed the traditional geography of this rural Kentucky region into a labyrinth of bays and peninsulas.
