About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates this landscape, its winding fingers filling deep hollows and creating a complex shoreline that defines the communities of Jabez and Eadsville. The elevation of the water has transformed former high ground into prominent landmarks like Ramsey Point and Indian Hills, while numerous family cemeteries remain scattered across the ridges as a testament to the area's agricultural past. Genealogists may find interest in the well-preserved locations of the Military Cem, Walters Cem, and Norfleet Cem.

The map reveals a transition from the traditional farmsteads along Ono Ridge to modern recreational uses, most notably at Camp Earl Wallace. Natural drainage patterns like Dudley Cr and Lick Cr feed into the reservoir, carving through a topography of named hollows such as Jack Hollow and Mill Hollow. The road network, including E Old Jamestown Rd, highlights the primary routes connecting these rural Kentucky settlements.
